Additionally, Angelina spoke about how she's really a homebody and doesn't have too many female friends. Angelina Jolie told Marie Claire:

• On her bond with Brad: "[Brad] has expanded my life in ways I never imagined. We built a family. He is not just the love of my life, he is my family. I hold that very dear. I suppose what I’ve learned from Brad is to be able to have the kind of family whose happiness and well-being comes before your own. I’m very, very grateful to have such a loving family, and I wouldn’t have that without him."
• On directing so many women in her movie: "It was nice for me to play with other girls; I don't really have girlfriends in movies, if you've noticed . . . Well, I have a few girlfriends. I just . . . I stay home a lot. I'm just not very social. I don't do a lot with them, and I'm very homebound."
