Angelina Jolie covers Marie Claire’s new January 2012 issue. The director of In the Land of Blood and Honey spoke with the magazine about her first-ever time behind the camera, then segued into more personal topics.
Angelina spoke about how Brad Pitt is more than just the love of her life, and also said she “could end up pregnant” and further expand their family. Additionally, Angelina spoke about how she’s really a homebody and doesn’t have too many female friends.
Angelina Jolie told Marie Claire:
• On her bond with Brad: “[Brad] has expanded my life in ways I never imagined. We built a family. He is not just the love of my life, he is my family. I hold that very dear. I suppose what I’ve learned from Brad is to be able to have the kind of family whose happiness and well-being comes before your own. I’m very, very grateful to have such a loving family, and I wouldn’t have that without him.”

Brad Pitt Makes Killer Cameo in Angelina Jolie’s Film ‘Blood and Honey’
Just when you thought America’s version of royalty couldn’t be any cooler.
Angelina Jolie makes her directorial debut with In the Land of Blood and Honey, and not only is it breathtakingly powerful (she shot the film in both English and Bosnian) but her life partner Brad Pitt adds a dash of spice.He makes a cameo, and it is easy to miss…but here it goes, Semi-Spoiler Alert:
When the lead actor Goran Kostic shoots a man running from a far, snowy distance away, the so-called extra that is killed is in fact Brad. He is shot twice through the lens of the shotgun, but we could never miss Brad’s mug! He’s hit once, falls down, then is hit again with the kill shot.
