Angelina Jolie spoke to the BBC ahead of the release of her new film “Changeling” and mused about one day fading away from Hollywood and focusing on her children and grandchildren.

Angelina Jolie’s role as a desperate mother searching for her missing child with the so-called help of a corrupt Los Angeles Police Department of the 1920s has generated enthusiastic Academy Awards speculation for the star and her director, the venerable and brilliant Clint Eastwood.

In an interview with the BBC, ahead of the film’s release in the UK, later this month, Angelina Jolie talked praisingly of her director and of her experience working on “Changeling” yet confessed acting was not something she saw a lot of in the future.

The 33-year-old actress, who received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1999 for her performance in “Girl, Interrupted,” said she has “a lot of children” and raising them well is her top priority.

She said she is willing to work on some more cinematographic projects for a while more, after which her films will be fewer and longer in between, until eventually she “fades away” and becomes a grandmother.

Taking care of her six children, of whom two are three-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne, is what Angelia Jolie really loves doing. “I like being home a lot these days,” she charmingly told the reporter, breaking into laughter. The interview was posted on the British broadcaster’s website on Thursday.

When questioned, Jolie did admit that she cannot say she will stop acting altogether. But she does anticipate making a movie “once a year and then maybe it will be once every three years, and then just naturally… I like being home a lot these days,” she said.

She has already experienced taking time off from filming, she explained, and said that after working “for a few months” in February, she would take another year off. She said she doesn’t worry about becoming superseded, as “everything comes in seasons” and she looks forward to a time when she “won’t be needing to do that later in my life.”

Jolie also explained how she and Brad Pitt came to sell photographs of their children to magazines as a response to paparazzi hounding them in the most absurd ways possible – including drilling a hole into the ceiling of a hospital room (presumably in France, where she gave birth to the twins). The couple decided they could transform the situation into something useful, such as obtaining money which they could donate to the charities they are devoted to – which they have done.

Jolie has spoken before about retiring from Hollywood. She has been a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Refugee Agency since 2001, the year when she filmed “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” in Cambodia and first became aware of humanitarian crises. Her first adopted child, Maddox, is a native of Cambodia.
