Angelina Jolie Reveals Her Secrets And Fears

Angelina Jolie was extremely candid in her interview withVanity Fairs Rich Cohen and revealed some what is was like to write and direct her fist movie as well as shed light on some personal aspects of her life.

Firstly there will be no secret wedding in the works for her and Pitt and forget about more children at least for now. Im not pregnant. Im not adopting at the moment, she adds.

Brad thinks Im going to be a nightmare, Angelina said when discussing directing her new movie that she wrote herself, In the Land of Blood and Honey.

I had such a good experience he thinks Im going to be impatient with directors, which I already am. I get impatient with people working on a film that have their head in their hands like its the most complicated thing in the world.

Angelina revealed that directing is in some ways more personal and risky than acting: Ive never felt more exposed. My whole career, Ive hidden behind other peoples words, Now its me talking. You feel ridiculous when you get something wrong.

I had the flu, Angelina says of how she came to write the script. I had to be quarantined from the children for two days. I was in the attic of a house in France. I was isolated, pacing. I dont watch TV and I wasnt reading anything. So I started writing. I went from the beginning to the end. I didnt know any other way. She says she then let Brad take the script to read on a trip: He called and said, You know, honey, its not that bad.

Angelina did not initially intend to direct the film. It was something I didnt trust out of my hands, she explains. So by default I ended up putting myself in as director. Of her decision to use all unknown actors from the region, she says, It couldnt be anybody else. Its their story. It was important that they were willing to do it. If none of them were willing, I wouldnt have made it.

Brad was very supportive throughout the project. Hed come in and say what he liked or what he didnt understand. Like any woman, I would listen to most of it and fight a few things. Hes been so supportive. But its hard to separate the person that loves you from the critic, so I dont think hes a fair judge.

People will judge for themselves. I think if you make a good movie people walk away arguing.

Angelina wanted an accurate story and so she sent the script to reporters and writers, people of Serbian and Bosnian nationality whod been through the war. I was gauging the accuracy. If they said no, I wouldnt have done it.
