Jolie - Hints at having more children

Angelina Jolie paid a tearful tribute to her late mother at a press conference for 'Changeling' and hinted that she may at have more children.

Jolie, whose mother Marcheline died last year after a long battle with cancer, said she had been taught the right values in life by her "elegant" mother.

In a tearful tribute, she said: "Her name was Marcheline, but we used to call her Marshmallow, as a joke, because she was just the softest, most gentle woman in the world."

"She was really sweet and was never angry - she couldn't swear to save her life.

"But when it came to her kids, she was really fierce and so this is very much her, her story."

In the film, directed by Clint Eastwood, Jolie plays a mother in 1920s Los Angeles whose son is kidnapped. When her child is returned to her, she quickly realises that the boy is not her own.

Mother of six, Jolie also hinted at the London press conference that she may slowly move away from acting and continue expanding her family.

She said: "I have a big family and a lot of responsibility at home, and I have the good fortune to financially not have to work all the time, and I just feel privileged that I get to be home a lot. Maybe eventually I'll stop (acting)."

When asked if the public could expect her to expand her family again, she replied: "Sure you can."
