Angelina Jolie says she and Brad Pitt "need" to be together.

The actress - who raises six children, adopted trio, Maddox, Zahara and Pax, and biological kids Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne, with Brad - insists she and the Hollywood heartthrob always make quality time for each other without their kids to keep the spark in their romance.

She said in an interview with Parade magazine: "The children certainly tie us together, but a relationship won't hold if it's only about the kids. You also must be really interested in each other and have a really, really wonderful, exciting time together. We do. Brad and I love being together. We enjoy it. We need it, and we always find that special time. We stay connected. We talk about it. It's very important."

Angelina, 35, also revealed one of the most amazing things about Brad, 46, is that he loves her unconditionally and accepts all her "flaws".

She added: "If Brad and I are strong and happy, then our kids have happy parents, and that's the best thing we can give them. Brad knows me completely, exactly as I am, every part of me. He loves me. The kids love me. They know all my flaws and all my oddities. And they accept them. And so I can feel complete."

据国外媒体报道，安吉丽娜-朱莉(Angelina Jolie)近日接受了国外媒体的采访。在采访的过程中，她大方的与记者分享了她和布拉德-皮特(Brad Pitt)相处的经验，并认为爱会让人得到提高。

虽然这名女星在她即将上映的新片《特工绍特》(Salt)中扮演一个双面间谍，但在与布拉德-皮特的感情中她还是很一心一意的。安吉丽娜-朱莉和布拉德-皮特有六个孩子，但她认为维持二人感情的原因不是孩子，她解释道：“孩子把我们栓在一起，但仅仅是因为孩子的爱情是不会长久的。双方必须对彼此很感兴趣，并且在一起的时间要过得非常开心。我们就是这样。布拉德和我喜欢待在一起，我们很享受在一起的感觉，并且我们需要这种感觉。我们在一起的时候总是很特别。我们互相联系着，我们也相互交流对感情的感受，这很重要。”

在谈到对待家庭时，她说：“布拉德和我都很坚强，也很幸福，所以我们的孩子们有快乐的双亲，这是我们能给予他们的最好的东西。布拉德完全了解我，他知道关于我的一切。他爱我，孩子们爱我。他们都知道我的缺点和我的怪癖，他们能接受我的这些不好的地方，这让我感觉自己很完整。”

“爱会让人得到提高”

35岁的安吉丽娜-朱莉在得到一切之后表现得十分开心，她说：“我觉得不懂得爱的人很可悲，因为爱会让人得到提高。每次我提起爱布拉德都会笑我。爱是一个很有趣的字。布拉德总是能够找到有诗意的句子来描述爱，但我就不行了。不过我知道爱意味着尽可能的让你爱的人好，在考虑自己之前总是先考虑他们。爱是我们活着的原因。”
