In a rare joint interview, Brad Pitt [1] and Angelina Jolie [2] sat down with Tom Brokaw for NBC's Today to talk about their new film, By the Sea. The movie premieres on Nov. 13, and in the run-up to the release, they've already spoken about working together on the project [3] and even included their kids in a stunning spread for the November issue of Vogue [4]. Their chat with Today included details about their working relationship as well but also touched on how they handled Angelina's medical procedures, including the preventative double mastectomy [5] she had in 2013. Read some of the couple's quotes below.

• Brad on his role during the mastectomy surgery: "Support. Whatever's got to be done to keep the family together and keep the family together as long as possible is gonna be done. This was her charge, no question. It's a scary decision. There's many things that can go wrong and go many different directions."
• Brad on finding out about Angelina's medical scare:: "I was out in France, and Angie called me and I got straight on a plane to return. Seeing my wife have to be her strongest and knowing that it's the scariest news is terribly moving. And not being there is a horrible feeling."
• Angelina on the public's reaction to her medical decisions: "You never know what a reaction is — you have to just make the choices you make in life. I made the choices I made because I believed they were right for me."
• Angelina on having Brad's support during her procedures: "I knew through the surgeries that he was on my side and that this wasn't something where I was gonna feel less of a woman, because my husband wasn't gonna let that happen."
