Angelina Jolie opens up to the German edition of Vanity Fair about everything from politics to her newborn twins. Here are some choice quotes via Us Weekly:

On why she could be voting for Barack Obama :
“Obama is fighting for international justice, he wants to intervene militarily in genocides abroad, and he wants to close down Guantanamo Bay. They are things which could move me to vote for him, not his roots. Of course, an American president like Barack Obama would be great for my family.” (On Monday, Brad carried a notebook with a Obama sticker on it.)

On why she’s proud of the USA :
“I am very proud of being American, and all my children have got American passports. For me, our family is just what America is - a melting pot, a mixture of many different races and nations. My children should be proud of their Asian and African roots, but that in no way means [is] a lack of respect for the fact that they and their parents are Americans.”

On her twins Knox and Vivienne (3-months-old on Sunday) :
“It’s a damned arduous business, and we are often simply whacked out because it is twice as hard with two babies as with one. But it also makes for double the fun. After we flew back from Europe, we were all suffering a bit from jetlag. We were all in bed early, but at half past four, they were awake and making a real racket… Brad took care of them. He said to me, ‘Go back to sleep, you’re back to work in the morning,’ and moved into the kids’ room with them. He is an astounding father, full of devotion… [Knox and Vivienne] have quite similar, stable rhythms. Every three hours they get hungry, then I have to satisfy them. But that’s OK, the two of them are totally sweet. When you see them, you think they were made for each other. They laugh together, they sniff each other, touch each other. It is beautiful.”

On struggling to find alone time with Brad :
“Sometimes, at the end of the day, we try to retire to the bathroom to be undisturbed,” she says. “But then [the kids] hear the water running and want to come in and, yet again, we are all together. But that doesn’t disturb us because they are great kids.”

On how fame has changed motherhood for her :
“I would like to have more freedom, especially to have the chance to be more spontaneous with my kids. Would I like to be able to walk through the streets with my kids? Of course. Would I like to be able to wander around Manhattan and buy them an ice cream like other mothers? Of course. But it is not possible. On the other hand, every morning I wake up with the people who are the most dear to me in the whole world. That’s why I don’t feel isolated from that, which is important to me. It helps, of course, that Brad knows all about it, but he’s experienced it even more than me. We often talk about it and try to make the best of things. But I am very grateful for our life and everything that we have.”

NEW YORK — We must be getting into Oscar season if a prestige project like “Changeling” is about to open. A jaw-dropper of a true story if you’ve ever heard one, this latest work from the steady directing hand of Clint Eastwood stars Angelina Jolie as Christine Collins, a woman who, in 1928 Los Angeles, lost her child to mysterious circumstances only to be reunited with an imposter by a corrupt Los Angeles Police Department clamoring to get a feel-good story in the press.

Eastwood decided to sit down with MTV News to talk about his new film, even as he puts the finishing touches on another work set for release before the end of the year, “Gran Torino.” Moments before the interview began, Jolie decided to join the conversation. The following is an exclusive — their only interview together to support their latest work.

Angelina Jolie reveals in the new issue of W Magazine that she had only planned on adopting children but after falling in love with Brad Pitt, he changed her mind.

On Brad changing her mind about giving birth to her own children :
“I think one of the life changing things that he did, one of many, is that I was absolutely never going to get pregnant. I never felt that it was the right thing to do… I suppose I just looked at him and loved him and just felt open to (getting pregnant). I suddenly wanted to. It’s one of those things you can’t explain.”

On Brad seeing adopted children Maddox and Zahara :
“I knew that he would never see them as different, and that gave me a certain peace.”

On having three children with Brad :
“I wouldn’t trade that experience for the world. It taught me a lot about life, just the process of it, and now we have three other beautiful children that wouldn’t otherwise be here.”

On baring her body for the intimate W pics taken by Brad just weeks after the twins’ birth :
“I’m with a man who’s evolved enough to look at my body and see it as more beautiful, because of the journey it has taken and what it has created. He genuinely sees it that way. So I genuinely feel even sexier.”

On Brad being perfect for her :
“[I have] a lot of respect [for Brad. He helps me] to be better and fight hard for the things that I love. I do think that I’m in a good partnership now. I think it just needed to be the right man.”

Angelina Jolie says being famous doesn’t interfere with the rest of her life.

The actress - who recently garnered a multi-million dollar deal for photos of her newborn twins Knox and Vivienne - insists she doesn’t let her star status get in the way of family life.

She tells MTV, “I’ve figured out how not to have it be a part of my life.

“I have a big busy family. I’m a mom and a lot of other things in my life. And I’m an actor, and I love telling stories, and I like expressing emotion to try to connect with other people.”

Jolie, 33, stars in the Clint Eastwood-directed Changeling, and she admitted it was a dream to work with the legend.

“It is ridiculously great!” she gushed.

“He has a way of working that is so efficient. He knows what he wants. He’s a great leader, so it just works.”

Angelina Jolie says family life keeps her grounded. The Hollywood star has six children with partner Brad Pitt.

And Jolie says that, despite her superstar status, being a mom is her number one priority.

She tells Parade.com, “I’m just a mom and I’m very grounded by my family. I’m very happy, and I’m so lucky. The world can like me, hate me, fall apart around me, and at least, you know, I wake up with my little kids and I’m happy.”

And Jolie - who has been married twice - says she remains “good” friends with both her former husbands.

She adds, “I have two divorces behind me but I’m still good friends with both my exes, Billy Bob and Jonny Lee [Miller]. I’ve never had to deal with secrets from the men in my life because I’ve always married artists and they’re a very talkative and expressive bunch. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Angelina says the same is true of her relationship with Pitt, adding, “I don’t want to spend my life pretending to be somebody else, and I don’t want the person next to me to have to pretend ever, because we have a long life ahead of us.

“So you just want to be able to be who you are in every moment, and that’s the only way you’ll ever be truly happy.”

As could be expected, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt proved quite an eyeful at Saturday’s New York premiere of her new movie. Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood.

But, in fact, there was even more to meet the eye on the leading lady: two new tattoos – to complement her ink indicating global birth coordinates of children Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh.

Jolie has had the July 12 French birthplace of twins Knox and Vivienne enscribed twice on her left shoulder beneath the latitude and longitude of their other children.

N43° 41’ 21” E 07º 14’ 28” - for Vivienne

Angelina take her 3 kids out in New Orleans on October 6.

He’s won Oscars and ridden to the top of the box-office charts – so Clint Eastwood knows his movies. And his stars.

Of Angelina Jolie – the leading lady in his latest directorial effort, the period drama Changeling – Eastwood, 78, says: “I’ve always admired her talent. She’s somewhat hampered sometimes by having this gorgeous face, the most gorgeous face on the planet. She’s on covers and all that stuff.

“But,” Eastwood told veteran movie journalist Lillian Ross at a Saturday Q&A sponsored by the New Yorker magazine at the Directors Guild of America, “she is a great talent, and it would be easy to overlook that, except after seeing this you realize that she is this great, talented person.”

“This” is Changeling, set in ’20s Los Angeles and the true story of a mother whose son is returned after a kidnapping – only the boy is not hers. Eastwood describes it as “a very tough story, it’s sort of an adult horror story. It’s what this woman had been put through by the Establishment.”

When it comes to working with Jolie, “She’s very prepared. She comes in with a lot of preparation. She’s ready to go right away,” he says.
