[ September 30th 2004 ]

ANGELINA JOLIE is working as hard as she can so she can quit to become a full-time mum and pilot before she gets bored with acting. The TOMB RAIDER star is considering early retirement because she wants to spend more time travelling the world with an ever-growing brood of children. She says, "I know that before I have more children in my life I want to do as much work as possible. This is my time to work because it's going to end.

"I'm going to be a mum and my acting career is going to fizzle to very little. I love to act and I love to do films but these great projects come few and far between and I am drawn more to doing other things in my life. I am certain that in some way I will always be an actor, but I do also find it very frustrating to do the same things over and over again.

"You put a lot of time into a project and you feel something; you try and tell a story. Then it's criticised because it's misunderstood or, for some reason, it doesn't do good at the box office. You just think, 'You know, I want to go and do something with my life that's actually practical. And I can see a thing built and I can't be misinterpreted.'"
