Angelina: Other little kids, they saw me in my...my costume, and they cried, so...so I had to cast the only child I knew, who was five years old, the little girl who wouldn’t cry...
Interviewer: O-o-o-oh.
Angelina: ...which was the, so...
Interviewer: That’s so sweet. Are you proud?
Angelina: I’m...Yeah, I’m always proud of her. I think Brad and I both find it so funny that she’s in a movie, you know, she’s just lost all her three front teeth and she’s in this, her pyjamas, and she’s just this goofy little wonderful person we live with, and that she’s being talked about on, you know, a news channel is just silly to us, you know, it’s...it’s funny.
Interviewer: O-o-o-oh.
Angelina: It’s, you know, it’s your baby, so...
Interviewer: Yeah. Was it stressful having, I mean you,’cause they...they travelled with you pretty much the whole time, didn’t they?
Angelina: Yeah. They’re here. They’re here.
Interviewer: Are they? So was it stressful having, more stressful having them working on set because they’re with you, I mean, pretty much...
Angelina: They were on set most every day anyway. They were playing in the fairy mound and hanging out with...with, you know, one of the great things about doing a Disney movie, you know, it’s so exciting for your children, and you get to play and you never have to seriously think about your work. You...you actually want them sitting around the cameras, so, when you do your big crazy things, you’re entertaining them, and it’s...it’s more fun. So I think most of my performance is simply trying to entertain my own children.
Interviewer: Humanitarian work is well-known. You’re very dedicated to that. It started back with Laura Croft, didn’t it, in Cambodia? Is that where it first sort of started for you?
Angelina: It...it first, it was the first time when I was in Cambodia, it was the first time I realized, I think we all have that moment in our lives where we kind of really question how much we know and our education and what we’ve been told...
Interviewer: Um hmm.
Angelina: ...and we realize that we have to do our own digging and our own research and find out what the truth is really for us. And at the time there was a lot of violence happening in Sierra Leone, and...and so I did a lot of research and then I asked to…to go to Sierra Leone, and I went, and it was the first time I was in that kind of a situation. My whole life changed. I realized how sheltered I’d been and how fortunate I was and how, and I felt horrible for ever having been self-destructive or self-pitying, because, in comparison to what people really go through, I’m so blessed, and I...and I just felt a...a responsibility to be a better person.
Interviewer: Where’s the toughest place that you’ve been to and the toughest stories that you’ve seen? And is there a particular place or was this something you see world over?
Angelina: I think that’s part of what is the hardest thing is that there, it’s, you know, 12 years ago I started to visit refugee camps and I had this thought of “we’re gonna help return people and we’re gonna bring awareness and we’re gonna help end wars, and we’re gonna...”, and...and the numbers have only grown. And the...and then you have a crisis like Syria, that you visit the border and there’s 60,000 refugees, and then you go back and there’s a million, and then you go back and there’s 2.7 million, and now there’s 9 million
Interviewer: How do, I mean, how do you do it for starters,’cause you, you’ve been directing a film, you’ve been acting in your film, you’ve got your children and your family. Is it sharing? Is it teamwork? What is it? What works for you?
Angelina: I’m so lucky that I have a job where I’m able to bring my children to work and that I’m able to work a few months out of the year and do something like 3)Malificent, and the rest of the months I can travel. I have a very fortunate life and a partner that helps me, and...and the means to do so. You know, there’s so many women out there that...that don’t have a strong partner, that don’t have financial means, that have to work two jobs, like, I don’t know how they do it with grace and strength.
安吉麗娜:其他小孩子看到我的裝扮就會哭,所以我得找這個我惟一認識的,看到我不會哭的小孩子,五歲的小女孩。
記者:噢……
安吉麗娜:……那是,太……
記者:那真是太好了,你感到自豪嗎?安吉麗娜:我……是的,我一直都為她感到自豪。我和布拉德都覺得這很有趣,她竟然出現在電影里。你知道,她剛剛掉了三只前牙,穿著睡衣,她就是和我們一起生活的那個傻傻的又很可愛的小人兒。新聞電視臺上關于她的報道在我們看來很可笑,這……這挺有趣的。
記者:噢……
安吉麗娜:她……你知道,她是我自己的孩子,所以……
記者:是的。你會不會感到壓力很大,我是說,因為他們大部分時間都跟你一起外出,是嗎?
安吉麗娜:是的。他們在這里,他們在這里。
記者:是嗎?那你工作時讓他們在旁邊會不會有壓力,或壓力更大些,就是相當多……
安吉麗娜:他們幾乎每天都在片場。他們在拍攝用的精靈小土墩里玩耍,或者出去玩……你知道嗎,拍迪士尼電影的其中一個好處,你知道,孩子們會非常興奮,你有機會玩耍,不需要嚴肅地思考你的工作……你其實想讓他們坐在攝像機旁邊,這樣,當你在做一些夸張、瘋狂的事情時,你是在逗他們玩,而且……這更加有趣。所以我覺得我很多的表演都只是盡量地取悅我自己的孩子們。
記者:你的人道主義工作是眾所周知的,你對這份工作很投入。這始于羅拉·克羅夫特這個角色,在柬埔寨,是嗎?那是你開始的地方,是嗎?
安吉麗娜:那是我第一次去柬埔寨,那是我第一次意識到,我認為在我們的生命中都有那么一刻,真正地質疑我們到底知道多少、我們所受的教育、我們被告知的事情……
