Los Angeles - Angelina Jolie planned to give up acting.
The actress, who recently gave birth to twins Knox and Vivienne, revealed partner Brad Pitt persuaded her to return to work rather than caring full-time for their six children.
"We had a big discussion about whether I should go back to work at all, but Brad said it was a part of me as well and it would be all right, so we're trying to balance it out," she said.
Despite admitting she wants to expand her family further, 33-year-old Angelina admitted having such a large family does cause problems - because she and Brad, 44, struggle to get time alone.
"Even if we lock our door the children come knocking," she explained.
More chaos is okay
"We often try to have a bath alone together at the end of the night and sit and talk, but they hear the water and want to jump in.
"But it's fun and lovely - the thing about having six is once you get past three or four, it's just so crazy anyway that it's just more chaos and that's okay."
The actress - who says her daily routine starts at 04:30 - also spoke of her delight at how well the couple's other children have welcomed the twins into the family.
"It's so much fun but it's very hard work. The kids are forming beautiful friendships. They're team mates and they're very loving to the babies," she added.
Meanwhile, Angelina revealed her latest tattoos at the premiere of her new movie, The Changeling, in New York.
The actress already had the latitude and longitude of where each of her children - adopted trio Maddox, seven, Pax, four, and Zahara three, and biological daughter Shiloh, two - were born and has had the co-ordinates of her twins' French birthplace added. - Bang Showbiz.com
