Angelina and her partner Brad Pitt are trying to balance their busy careers with raising their six children — Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5 and Knox and Vivienne, 3.
"It's so hard with family in this business so we take turns working, so whenever one of us works, the other makes sure they're there for the kids so we never have to split up the family," Angelina explained to Nightline. "If it's over five days, everybody's got to move in a big traveling mass." However, Angie and Brad do take time for date nights, and she says they do have their differences.
For example, they don't have the same opinion on the death penalty. "I won't say whose side anyone is on, but it's the one, the thing nobody brings up at dinner because nobody wants us to go off on each other," she said. "But it's fun. It's a fun debate, you know? It's a good — you want to be able to have — to respect each other's views and to not be exactly — we're not identical. We have — we have strong views."

And their children ask them some tough questions too. When Nightline asked Angelina if she has plans to marry Brad some day she responded, "The kids asked me the other day and I asked them if it was just because they wanted to have a big cake," she said with a laugh. "They see movies that have the people getting married... you know, the happily ever after. Shrek and Fiona are married." "We've explained to them that our commitment when we decided to start a family was the greatest commitment you could possibly have. Once you have six children, you're… you're committed."
