Hollywood beauty, Angelina Jolie is desperate for more children, and quality time with partner Brad Pitt.
In an interview with Reader's Digest, Jolie, 31, slammed rumors of a breakup.
On how Brad changed her life:
I met this amazing person, and we realized we had very similar views on how we wanted to live our lives. It's happened quickly, with so many children. Yesterday, picking up the kids from school, Brad turned around in the car, and there were three of them. He couldn't stop laughing. We love them and are having a great time.
On getting pregnant with Shiloh:
Before I met Brad, I always said I was happy never to have a child biologically. He told me he hadn't given up that thought. Then, a few months after Z came home, I saw Brad with her and Mad, and I realized how much he loved them, that a biological child would not in any way be a threat. So I said, "I want to try."
On Pax's homecoming:
The first two days, he cried a lot. I hired a translator, and he would explain what was going on. The first night, I slept alone with him. I was expecting him to wake up and scream, but he woke and just stared at me. I handed him a stuffed animal, and we walked around the room pointing at things. By day three, he didn't want me to put him down. I think he got used to the reality that somebody loves you and that's what a mommy is.

On the problem of sibling rivalry:
We had a long talk with Mad about the fact that his brother is going to be scared and that Mommy is going to have to give him attention. And we've tried to figure out a lot of private time for each of them. When everybody goes to bed, we give Mad time. When everybody is at school, we give Shiloh time. In between, Z and Pax each get special time. And on Sundays we have a big family sleep, when the boys get in bed with us and we watch a movie. It started with Mad, then Pax, and now Z is desperate to move into the bed. We're talking about having to build a bigger bed!
On Brad's adjustment to family life:
He couldn't go with us to Vietnam to get Pax because he was working. But they got together very quickly. I think Pax, after seeing how much Zahara and Mad and Shi love Brad, understands that he's his daddy. Everybody seems to be safe in his arms. He makes everybody laugh. He helps everybody.
On the topic of more children:
More biological, more adopted.
On who provides the discipline:
When it comes to the boys, it's Brad, and with the girls, it's me. It's not intentional, but Z can pretty much get anything she wants from her dad. Brad's like a strong father with the boys.
On losing her mother:
I'm one of those people who walk around as if it's fine, and then suddenly I don't know why I'm crying over my breakfast. My mother was my best friend. I'm so grateful I had her as a mom. She had cancer for seven years, but she lived long enough to see my brother and I grow up to be quite happy. You almost get the feeling she held on until it was okay.
On finding time to be alone with Brad:
Right now, that's our problem! We hang out. We try to talk over the swing set. We'll have a date night once everybody is settled...we'll get them occupied with a movie and popcorn and try to run off and lock the door for a bit.
On whether she and Brad argue:
Not really. We'll get into issues about global events or something that was just on the news.
On Brad as a partner:
He encourages the right things. If I've had a full day and just really been a hands-on mom, he'll make a point to let me know that's something he's proud of. If I'm writing an Op-Ed, he's the first person to want to read the drafts. I could be dressed up in the sexiest outfit for a photo shoot, and by his behavior, he'll let me know that's nice, but it's nothing as sexy as when I'm home surrounded by the kids or reading books, educating myself. He slows me down to kind of get it right, to relax into the strength of my family and the love.
Meanwhile, Angelina Jolie recently posed for ads for Shiseido cosmetics that will only be seen in Asia reports Star Magazine. Angelina will promote Shiseido's powder eye color and liquid eye color in fashion magazines and on billboards in Japan, according to Women's Wear Daily.
In other news, the UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Jolie, 31, and actor/partner Pitt, 43, are donating $1 milion to the humanitarian effort via their Jolie-Pitt Foundation. The money will go to the UN Refugee Agency, the International Rescue Committee and the international NGO, and SOS Children's Villages. Each agency plays a key role in Darfur and neighboring Chad, providing assistance to the region's millions of displaced people who are living in camps reports PEOPLE.
Jolie has visited the region three times, most recently in late February. On that trip, she met staff from SOS Children's Villages at the Oure-Cassoni refugee camp and was "struck by the sense of hope she encountered and by the widespread desire for peace-keepers to be deployed in eastern Chad."
