Brad Pitt: Angie Was a Natural Direction

Brad Pitt talking about how in love he is with Angelina Jolie just never gets old. Every new quote is another opportunity to find some kind of hidden meaning or reason to roll your eyes or twisted jab at the Naked Yoga One.
And now in a special Boxing Day L.A. Times profile, you have the chance to interpret some new love quotes from Brad. See, his new movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button got him thinking about true love, which led to this thought nugget:
"It's a tragedy in the sense that any love involves loss, and that's the risk you take. And the greater the love, the greater the loss. I certainly feel that now with the woman I'm with, and the children that I have. But whatever the course may be, this time together is extraordinary."
More specifically, he says hooking it up with Angie just felt natural because he was totally over just being hot and perfect all the time…
"I had a whole other life and I got to experience a lot. And I probably got away with more than I should. And it kind of ran its course, you know, it kind of hit a dead end. [Fatherhood is] the direction I always thought I would go in. But not until, with Angie and it felt like a natural evolution, a natural direction."
And now a bonus quote about his craft, something we often overlook but shouldn't because dude seriously wants his Oscar. The life that Angelina has given him seems to have changed his acting for the better.
"I don't have to grope as much for the character. I can get there quicker, so it's not as much trial and error," he says. "Also, as I get older, more experiences, I'm more fine-tuned in what I'm after, what I think speaks in the piece. And lastly I want to hurry and get home to my kids."
All right, now who wants to see Brad as a naked old man baby?!
