f it weren’t for her new movie, Changeling, Angelina Jolie says she may not have had twins Knox and Viv. She recently told The Los Angeles Times the film’s themes of motherhood pushed her get pregnant.

“I got pregnant right in the middle of it and I think partially because of it,” she said, smiling. “I was so emotional about children that I think something in me kicked into gear.”

In the Clint Eastwood drama, Jolie plays the mother of a kidnapped son — her latest mom-centric film.

“I don’t think it’s a choice of mine as much as it is something women deal with when we get older,” she said. “A woman in her 30s is more likely to have roles that in some way relate to family.”

Being the mother of six life can be challenging – even with the help of beau Brad Pitt.
“I woke up at 3 in the morning with four kids with jet lag and two babies,” the U.N. goodwill ambassador said as she reflected on one recent day. “I put myself together for a few hours and go out. And then I go home. This is my job.”

Still, she said she shows no signs of slowing down — or settling in Hollywood.

“I don’t dislike it here,” the Oscar-winner said. “I just really do love to travel. I love other cultures. And I love raising my kids in the world. I’m so fortunate that I get to do that.

Added the actress, “The center of my life is my kids.”
