Jill Rappaport: “Lola is quite
the bad fish.”
Angelina Jolie: “She's the kind
of woman I would never play in the flesh.”
Rappaport: “Why?”
Jolie: “Because she's a really –
she's a gold digger and she's a really bad woman. She represents
everything that is wrong with women.”
Bad babe she is. In the animated adventure "Shark Tale,"
Angelina Jolie puts her best voice forward as a sensuous dragon fish that uses
her feminine wiles to get what she wants.
Rappaport: “Did you try to sound
sexier, because she's very provocative, this little fish?”
Jolie: “She's my bedroom
voice.”
Rappaport: “Oooh, let's
hear.”
Jolie: “I don't. (Laughter) She's
just. I have to be motivated.”
Rappaport: “Okay, well, I guess
we can't go there. I'm the wrong one to do that.”
Jolie: “She's just … slow and
deep and the way she talks. Everything is just … naughty on her mind.”
Rappaport: “Considering the roles
you've played in the past, and certainly the one you won the Oscar for, this is
such a departure.”
Jolie: “Yeah, well I think …
because I have a kid … I've spent the last few years making voices, making
faces, being silly …”
Rappaport: “So, it
definitely…”
Jolie: “…dressing up.”
Rappaport: “Definitely your son,
Maddox …”
Jolie: “So this is …”
Rappaport: “…motivated you.”
Jolie: “Yeah, this is …
what parents do when nobody's looking. We are animated fish at home for our
children.”
Rappaport: “I've interviewed you
several times over the years, going back to ‘Gia.’ And I'll tell you
something, I've seen such a change in you…”
Jolie: “Yeah.”
Rappaport: “… since Maddox has
come into your life.”
Jolie: “Thank you.”
Rappaport: “He really is your
whole life now, isn't he?”
Jolie: “He's everything,
yeah. He's my happiness.”
Rappaport: “And I understand you
may want to adopt or you're planning to adopt children from other
countries.”
Jolie: “Oh,
‘I'm sure I'll adopt many more. I don't know
when yet. I have a kind of dream or belief that a beautiful
family ... from around the world.’

I'm
sure I'll adopt many more. I don't know when yet. I have a kind of dream or
belief that a beautiful family ... from around the world.’
Rappaport: “I've read that you
said that ultimately you'd like to just give up this whole career and the fact
that you've chosen to move to London, away from the whole Hollywood
limelight.”
Jolie: “It's been really good for
me. It's important. I grew up in this town and this town can just be very all
consuming. You know success or failure, or whatever it is, you're just very
aware of celebrity. When I was first in this business … I went to a very dark
place.”
Rappaport: “You were always in
the tabloids.”
Jolie: “Yeah, always lived in the
tabloids.”
Rappaport: “Not as much now.”
Jolie: “Not as much now. However,
I'm always dating some random person. There's like a joke in my house of like
which … my sex life is so interesting and every other week I've got a new
lover.”
Rappaport: “So none of it's
true? Don't believe what you read.”
Jolie:
“Sure there's one or
two that are true. But … I haven't read enough of them to tell you which
ones. But most of them are not true.”
Rappaport: “Oh, (laughter) care
to share. Oh come on, elaborate. You can't wrap me now. I see her wrapping
me. You're not going now.”
Jolie: “Sorry.” (Laughter)
Rappaport: “Yeah, I know, we hear
that. (Laughter) But does it bother you – the tabloids?”
Jolie: “It only bothers me when
it's a certain kind of story. Like sometimes there's a story where it
undermined some other relationship I had. It just bothers me because … my
parents were in this business when my father cheated on my mother. She had to
deal with tabloids. I know how much it hurt her.”
Rappaport: “But you seem very
happy with the way things are going in your life.”
Jolie: “I feel very
lucky. I've survived some different things in my life and I've found a
place to be useful – as a mother and working with the UN. I just took three
months off and I traveled with the UN to Chad – to deal with the situation.”
Rappaport: “That part of your
life is just as important, if not, more important…”
Jolie: “Much more important to
me.”
Rappaport: “…than the whole
acting thing for you at this point.”
Jolie:
“Yeah, much more important.”
Rappaport: “I just feel like I
lead the most boring life talking to you.”
Jolie: “Honestly … I need to
learn how to make dinner for my son and sit home and sit still – that's probably
my biggest lesson and probably the most valuable thing. So when I get to
that point I will have evolved properly.”
