Angelina Jolie has spent some time away from the spotlight, but now she’s back promoting her action film Salt. The star opened up to Parade magazine about love, fame and her other half, Brad Pitt.

“I feel sad for someone who has never known love,” Jolie said. “You know, Brad would joke about me having this conversation about love… It's such a funny word. Brad can find certain phrases of poetry for it. I'm terrible at it. But I know it means wanting the best for the people you love, putting their interests above your own, always.”

So Brad is a poet, too? While we collect ourselves, let’s let Angie move on. She said she and Brad try to shield their kids from invasive paparazzi.

“We do everything we can to keep our kids away from it,” Jolie said. “We don’t stand in the checkout line at the grocery store looking at the magazines. Our friends don’t tell us about it. And our kids don’t know. I feel if we keep looking out for them, they’ll be fine.”
