Angelina Jolie to quit acting?

February 02, 2005  - 

Angelina Jolie has hinted that she may quit acting to concentrate on her
charity work.

The 'Tomb Raider' star, who was appointed as Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations four years ago, says she prefers working with the aid organisation to the big screen and is struggling to motivate herself to return to her day job.

She said: "I've had a few months off and I'm having trouble going back to work because I'm finding that my time at home with my son and travelling around the world is just more fulfilling and more important to me." "I can't find anything that interests me enough to go back to work. I'm not excited about going to a film set." But the Oscar-winning beauty says she would never stop acting completely because she relies on the massive pay cheques. The 29-year-old star - who commands a reported $12 million per film - says she relies on her big screen roles to subsidise her lifestyle and needs to maintain her high profile to draw attention to good causes.

She added: "I know that by doing films, making money and remaining in the public eye, I'm able to fund more programs and I'm able to bring more attention to that... So I know I have to do both. But it is difficult to go back to work."
