Jolie and Brad Pitt were in town Friday for an event related to her new movie "The Good Shepherd," directed by and also starring Robert De Niro.

Jolie said, "I love being with my kids and I love being with Brad."

The actress picks her projects with the children in mind. She wants to make sure she has plenty of time with Maddox, 5, Zahara, 23 months, and Shiloh, 6 months. She told People magazine in two years she hasn't shot for more than seven weeks on a movie.

Jolie says sometimes she can't take the children places they want to go, but "there are worse problems."

This Halloween she and the children were in India. They shipped in candy and costumes from the United States and then played dress-up.

The actress who supports an orphanage in Ethiopia and acts as an advocate for orphans with AIDS says children are a "joy of life that exists nowhere else."
