Angelina Jolie Vanity Fair Magazine August 2010

 

Angelina Jolie graces the cover of the August 2010 issue of Vanity Fair magazine, which hits newsstands nationwide July 6.

Check out some highlights below from her interview with the mag where she chats about family and Shiloh’s tomboy style.

On Shiloh dressing “like a little dude”:  Shiloh, we feel, has Montenegro style.  It’s how people dress there. She likes tracksuits, she likes (regular) suits. She likes to dress like a boy. She wants to be a boy. So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boys’ everything. She thinks she’s one of the brothers.”
On ‘family sleep’: “That means everybody crawls into our bed. And we actually have a giant bed. We had sheets specially made. … Everybody files in and we watch a movie. It breaks all the rules. Mommy and Daddy are very tired the next morning. We have that in L.A., and when we hang out in France, we’ve got it there. … We’re thinking of building a room just for family sleep.”

On having more kids: “We’re not opposed to it. But we want to make sure we can give everybody special time. They’re kids now, and can play together, but they’re going to need a lot more talking in the middle of the night, like I did with my mom for hours. We want to make sure we don’t build a family so big that we don’t have absolutely enough time to raise them each really well.”

On the kids’ personalities: “Mad’s a real intellectual, which I can take no credit for genetically. He’s great at school, great at history. He feels like he could be a writer or travel the world and learn about places and things. Zahara’s got an extraordinary voice and is just so elegant and well spoken. Shiloh’s hysterically funny, one of the goofiest, most playful people you’ll ever meet. Knox and Viv are classic boy and girl. She’s really female. And he’s really a little dude.”

On tabloids and marriage: “There’s a cycle that goes through the newsstands— we’re separating, I’m pregnant, we’re getting married, we’re separating, I’m pregnant, we’re getting married.  We’re not against getting married. It’s just like we already are. Children are clearly a commitment, a bigger commitment (than marriage). It’s for life.”
