The past months have offered tragedy and joy for Angelina Jolie.
“This has been a very heavy year, in losing my mom and having a fourth child,” the actress, 31, told Ann Curry in a Today show interview that aired Wednesday.
(Click here to watch a clip. The interview will continue Wednesday night on Dateline NBC.)
“I suppose I’m very aware of time and of memories and enjoying life,” Jolie continued, “not just doing the right thing and being a useful person – which I certainly want to be, and believe that I am.”
Recalling her mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, who died in January at age 56 after a nearly 8-year battle with cancer, Jolie said: “I want to be a great mom like my mom was. And I also want to do things that I love.”
On Tuesday at the Cannes Film Festival, where she and Brad Pitt premiered their new movie, A Mighty Heart, Jolie told reporters she plans to take a year off from acting to spend time with her family: Pitt, 43, and kids Maddox, 5; Pax, 3; Zahara, 2; and Shiloh, who turns 1 on May 27.
(Jolie adopted Pax in March from Vietnam, and recently added a fourth line to the tattoo on her left arm that features coordinates for the birthplaces of all her children.)
“I’m in a strange, I suppose, place in my life,” Jolie told Curry. “I think that happens when you lose a parent, where you drop into a different kind of serious. And yet, at the same time, you want to laugh and enjoy as much as possible every day.”
To that end, she said, “I’m hanging on to my family really tight at this moment, and, because of that, trying to be as good a woman as I can be in my life.” At that point, Jolie broke down in tears. “Dammit,” she said, “you got me crying.”
Curry apologized, but Jolie, regaining her composure, said, “That’s alright. It’s part of life. … I lost my mom. It’s a natural thing for a child to lose a parent. I lost my mom too young, but it happened. And I’m happy she’s out of pain, because I love her and she’s my friend.”
I feel bad for her and her family cause they get so much slack… but oh well thats a part of being a celebrity…

When it comes to her life, Angelina Jolie is an open book.
“There’s nothing I have to hide or defend,” the actress, 31, tells Ann Curry for an interview scheduled to run Wednesday on both the Today show and Dateline NBC.
“I’m gonna live my life,” Jolie continues. “There are gonna be times when people wanna try to attack me and I don’t know why, but they will. And that’s okay. … There are other things I’m more concerned about. My kids are healthy. I have a lot I want to do in this world. …I wanna do a lot of things as a woman, as a mom, and – and that’s my focus.”
When it comes to herself, “I have always been honest about who I am, and I’ve always been very outspoken to press,” says Jolie. “I think people have heard a lot from me over the years. …[If] people wanna believe negative things, they will. … I can’t help that.
“At the end of the day,” she continues, “I’m gonna be dead one day. And what people say about me is gonna be what I accomplished and what I did in my life and how my children are.”
This week, one of Jolie’s accomplishments is her role in the new film A Mighty Heart, in which she plays Mariane Pearl, widow of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, who was killed by terrorists in Pakistan in 2002. The film was produced by Jolie’s partner, Brad Pitt.
Recalling her first meeting with Pearl, Jolie remembers wondering, “God, how … is this woman physically dealing with trying to maintain her strength and take care of this baby that’s inside of her, working so hard and … having so much emotional stress?
Jolie says she thought it would be easy play someone she knows, but it “haunted” her.
“The day before we started shooting, I hardly slept and I was in a panic,” says Jolie. “I had gotten to know her, and I’d gotten to know their son. And the thought that he would see this one day. It was my responsibility to not just show the world but also show him how much his mother loved his father and how much they loved each other and how they handled this time.”
Jolie and Pitt showed the film on Monday at the Cannes Film Festival in France.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie showed their love – and their new movie – to the world’s media Monday as they stepped out arm-in-arm at the Cannes Film Festival.
The couple attended a press conference to discuss A Mighty Heart – in which she stars and he produces, through his Plan B production company.
Jolie admitted she had trepidations about taking on the project and the role of Mariane Pearl, whose husband, Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, 38, was killed by Islamic militants in Pakistan in February 2002. (Actor and Oscar-winning Capote screenwriter Dan Futterman plays Daniel.) “I was very, very nervous to get it right,” said Jolie.
And the outcome? “Mariane seems to think we’ve done all right.”
Pitt, 43, and Jolie, 31, are staying at the exclusive Hotel du Cap, in a villa with their four children: Maddox, 5; Zahara, 2; Pax, 3; and Shiloh, who turns 1 this coming Sunday.
“We got here yesterday, and we had a beautiful day with our kids,” said Jolie, who flew in from the Czech Republic, where she is filming the movie Wanted, with Morgan Freeman. “We’ve been playing with them since the moment we landed, and we plan to go home to them as soon as we are done with this.”
As for her five-star hotel in France’s Cap d’Antibes. “It’s also a beautiful place, and we have an opportunity to enjoy it with our family and enjoy it as friends,” said Jolie.
Pitt said he was captivated by the Pearl story from the moment he started following it on CNN. “It was our goal to see this thing through,” said Pitt. “And to fight hatred.”
Jolie said that despite the serious nature of the film, which tracks Daniel’s kidnapping and his wife’s desperation to save him, she remains able to smile in her downtime. “I am still capable of being silly and have fun,” she said.
At one point, Pitt humorously referred to his partner as “what’s-her-name” (when the press conference’s mediator unexpectedly asked him to comment on a question previously directed to Jolie). He also stressed his and her aim of working together to help improve the planet.
“As a father, too, I look at my kids and realize they will inherit this world,” said Pitt. “And we want to do everything we can to throw our weight in and make it a little bit better.
After the news gathering, PEOPLE asked Pitt how he was finding Cannes. “I’m enjoying it very much, man,” he replied.
They pull off normal so damn well. I just love these 2 celebs cause they also seem to not give a damn about being celebs…
You can’t help but envy this hot ass couple…. I love them… Brad and Angelina Keep it hot…
