Angelina Jolie has all the answers when it comes to acting

Multi-award-winning actress Angelina Jolie has sensationally revealed that acting isn’t as important to her as it used to be.

She’s adored all over the globe by men and women alike for both her beauty and acting skills, and has carved out a very lucrative film career for herself, but Angelina Jolie has revealed to the Financial Times that she “doesn’t love” acting as much as she used to.

36-year-old Jolie said: "I've never not been grateful to be an actor. But I think when I was younger I needed [acting] more. I was trying to question things in life so you find these characters that help you find things and grow...I'm older and I know who I am...and I'm less interested in the character helping me answer something...than in being able to answer it for myself, as a woman, as an adult, with my family."

Angelina Jolie was named as Holywood's highest paid actress by Forbes in 2009 and 2011

However despite her claims that she does not need acting as much as she once did, Jolie has no plans on retiring just yet, she just prefers spending her time doing other things: “I don't love [acting] as much as I did. I love being a mom."

Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt are parents to six children, Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5 and twins Vivienne and Knox, 3. In the interview she also reveals that she loves to travel and this is something she wants to install in her own brood.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are often called Brangelina!

She said: "Home is wherever we are...I'm very bad at staying in one place. I'm also bad at sitting still...There's so much to explore in the world...So I love travel. If you can travel I think it's the best way to raise kids."
