I mean, yesterday Angie was taking Maddie off to school. There were 30 paparazzi outside. One guy sticks a videocamera in Mad’s face, yelling, ‘Maddox! Maddox!’ He doesn’t get aresponse. He doesn’t know my boy. Mad is already savvy to this,unfortunately.

But my 2-year-old dreads being anyplace there arecameras. It scares her. They’re all in her face. My kids are faced withthis every day! It’s disgusting. So we’ve been run out of L.A., all themajor cities. We just can’t live there. You don’t understand — this isthe hunt, the hunt, the hunt! I thought it might be over a year ago.It’s gotten worse.

Brad has many beliefs that he lives his life by, but one of the most important is family.

What’s important to me is that I’ve defined my beliefs and livedaccording to them and not betrayed them. One of those is mybelief in family. I still have faith in that.

Famous for: Maddox was first adopted by Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thorton. Following their split, Angelina took sole custody, until she started dating Brad Pittin early 2005, and they now have four children together. Mad is alsonotorious for his mohawk and badboy looks he gives the paparazzi.

Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt – born in Ethiopia, adopted in July 2005 (D.O.B – January 8th, 2005)

What they said:

Before adopting Zahara, Angelina openly spoke of her son’s love of Africa.

My son is in love with Africa, so he has been asking for an African brother or sister.

On when Angelina adopted Z:

Hecame to the orphanage. He saw where she was living, and he saw sheneeded care. Kids understand sadness and poverty and hunger.

Angelina spoke of Maddox’s view of Shiloh during her interview with Anderson Cooper:

Madloves her…and because when Z came home she was older, she was sevenmonths old, so for Mad it’s like having this tiny pet he can just holdand look at. He’s great.

On Maddox asking about Angelina playing Mariane Pearl.

Hefinds it very strange. He came up to me and said, ‘Why are you dressingup like Adam’s mommy everyday?’ and then it got us into this heavydiscussion where I had to say, ‘Well, this thing happened to Adam’smommy and Adam’s daddy and to their family at this time, that hasaffected our world, and we want to tell the story to help peopleunderstand this time and Adam’s daddy.’ I really couldn’t get into thedetails, more because I didn’t know what he would say to Adam. UsuallyI tell my son everything, but…I did say that [Daniel] was killed.

On Maddox in June, this year.

Mad’salmost 6, and he’s just this little intelligent man. He’s so smart andso witty. He’s like my best buddy. Just the coolest little person I’veever met.

What does Maddox call Angelina?

Myeldest son [Maddox] started to call me Angie for fun, he thinks it’shysterical! He does [still call me mommy], both daddy and mommy, butwhen he’s being silly with me it’s Angie. They all [know how to teaseme] – they’ve all been making fun of me!

Angelina is thrilled at the bond that Maddox and Pax have formed.

Paxand Maddox have really connected because they’re closer in age and arebrothers so they have moments when they bond together against everybodyelse in the family. They are a really tough team and then they havemoments when they bug each other. It’s quite normal and it’s nice. It’snever quiet in our house.

More children for the couple?

Our only restriction is making sure we have time for everybody, and we’re finding that we have the ability to do that.

Update

Originally posted 8 am: In an exclusive with Parade Magazine, Angelina Jolie expanded on earlier statements in which she indicated that she will take a full year off from her burgeoning acting career in order to be with her family.  Angelina said partner Brad Pitt also plans to take the year off, and in the interim, the couple will be alternating acting projects so that one parent is always a full-time presence for their four children:  Maddox, 5 1/2, Pax, 3 1/2, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 1. 

On time off: Brad and I are lucky that we are in a position to take turns, and one of us can be home with the kids, and so we kind of have the plan of who is doing what…Basically we’re going to try to take a year off and just be with the kids.  So certainly, we’re trying to find a few projects that we love or that we think would be good to do for one reason or the other.  But mainly our focus is ‘OK, lets look at our schedule, and try to figure out when we’re going to have family time.’

Balancing it all: Brad and I have a lot of kids, and we want to have more kids. And theydemand a lot of time. It takes a lot just to get all of them fed andclothed and out the door to different schools on time. It’s fun, and welove it. But you can’t balance everything. I think both of us only planto work for a few more years. We’ll try to just stop sooner or later,so we can be home and travel, and just live.

What others think about her family doesn’t matter: Whether people’s thoughts about my family are positive or negative, atthe end of the day, I get to come home to these four little people whoare the greatest things in the world.
