"I don't plan to keep acting very long, I'm ready to
do a few things now and fade away and get ready to be a grandma one day," the
Hoolywood movie star told the British broadcaster in an interview posted on
the BBC website on Thursday.
Jolie and her partner actor Brad Pitt have emerged as
a Hollywood power couple, and together they have three biological children and
three adopted children.
She says her new film helped her get pregnant.
She said: "I got pregnant right in the middle of
shooting and I think partially because of the film. I was so emotional about
children that I think something in me kicked into gear."
Angelina also admitted she considers her
ever-expanding brood in everything she does, adding: "The centre of my life is
my kids."
The 33-year-old actress - who raises six children
with partner Brad Pitt - believes she wouldn't have conceived twins Knox Leon
and Vivienne Marcheline if she hadn't starred in new movie 'Changeling', in
which she plays a mother whose son goes missing.
In response to a question about whether she will give
herself a "cutoff point" for acting, Jolie said she would make no pledge to
completely stop acting.
Jolie, who stars in the movie "Changeling" from
director Clint Eastwood, said she has not worked on a movie for a year. Apart
from starting a project in February, she said that she will probably not work
again for another year.
"So maybe it will be 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," Jolie told the BBC.
Jolie, who earned an Oscar for her supporting role in
the 1999 movie "Girl, Interrupted," would not be the first actor to talk of
walking away from it all at a young age. Last month, "We Own the Night" star
Joaquin Phoenix, 34, said that he was retiring from acting to focus on making
music.
