 And Jolie admits to having had a darker side, allowing that she has, like her character, allowed herself to “go through a phase where (I) was consumed by life;” in her desire to experience everything Jolie may have lost her way, but with her son, her extensive volunteer work and her acclaimed reputation as an actress, Jolie seems both grounded and centered. Perhaps the most compelling evidence for her newly-found sense of self is her answer to the question of what she’s going to do with her time off. “I’m going to learn to fly a plane,” she says, “and take my son to school.” Aside from Jolie’s off-hand comment about the absurdity of how the press presents her love life and a tongue-in-cheek remark about how she is supposedly dating “the entire cast”, no reference is made to the rumored romance between the two stars.

Yet he scoffs at the idea that he is something of a renaissance man for taking on all these roles. Saying they’re “in the same vein….acting and directing are so similar, (they’re) both interpretive.” And “writing brings me stability.” But Hawke is first and foremost an actor; “Acting is my first love” he states and then muses, “if I know about ... |
