Angelina Jolie Does Cosmopolitan Magazine

UN ambassador Angelina Jolie is on the January 2009 cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine. In the interview for the mag she speaks about family, career and her movie role in Changeling. Check full story for a couple of interview highlights!

How do you find time for your family, acting career and your commitment as a UN ambassador?
“Well I do take my time outs. And most of all I do receive support from Brad. We are a good team. That is important to me and gives me strength. This is a beautiful idea, but I cannot sit quietly while others die of hunger and children. My commitment for the United Nations I do not want to abandon. The play has no greater priority. In February, I still turn a movie, then I suppose one years off.”

How can you survive each day without a nervous breakdown?
“I’m very disciplined. I have a balanced diet and among other things I do Pilates. If I’m fit I feel more comfortable and I do have a lot more energy.”

In Changeling you play the role of a mother whose son disappears without a trace. That’s not a easy role.
“Absolutely. Just the idea of such a possibility made me go completely crazy. Initially, I wanted to cancel it. But the strength and self abandonment of this woman made be accept the role.”
