Angelina Jolie<\/p>\n

Anthony Behar\/Sipa<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Angelina Jolie<\/a>‘s success in Hollywood means she doesn’t need a backup plan. But she had one once: to become funeral director.<\/p>\n

“It sounds like this very strange, eccentric, dark thing to do but in fact I lost my grandfather and was very upset with his funeral,” she said during an interview on 60 Minutes<\/em> Sunday night. “How somebody passes and how family deals with this passing and what death is should be addressed in a different way. If this whole acting thing didn’t work out that was going to be my path.”<\/p>\n

But it did work out, and now the Oscar winner is promoting her directorial debut<\/a>, In the Land of Blood and Honey<\/em>, which is set to be released in the U.S. on Dec. 23.<\/p>\n

In her interview with CBS’s Bob Simon on 60 Minutes<\/em>, Jolie, 36, spoke about various topics, including her dark past<\/a>. Here are the previously unseen highlights: <\/p>\n

\u2022 Always in Tabloids:<\/strong> Simon asked Jolie what people who only know her from tabloid covers are missing. “Me,” she said. “I don’t see those things. I don’t know who they are but I assume they’re not me. They’re not who I am. They’re not what I spend my day caring about. I find them quite shallow and often quite wrong.”<\/p>\n

\u2022 Working Mom:<\/strong> “We never work at the same time,” Jolie said of how she and Brad Pitt<\/a> raise their six children. She also said she prefers “when I’m home with the kids” and that shooting movies full time “would be easier.”<\/p>\n

\u2022 Looking Up to Mom:<\/strong> “My mother was a full-time mother. She didn’t have much of her own career, her own life, her own experiences … everything was for her children,” Jolie said of her mom, Marcheline Bertrand, as she choked up. “I will never be as good a mother as she was. She was just grace incarnate. She was the most generous, loving \u2013 she’s better than me.”<\/p>\n

\u2022 Becoming a Director:<\/strong> “I still think it’s crazy … I think I’d be terrible with a comedy,” she says of tackling the tough topics in her film, a love story set during the Bosnian War in 1992. “Everything was something to be careful about and sensitive.”<\/p>\n

“I am nervous that people are not going to understand it,” she said, though she’s not worried about being involved with a film that has someone else as the star. “I prefer directing. I love having the spotlight on someone else … It’s nice for all of that not to matter.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
