Angelina Jolie gave an interview to a publication called – no joke – Dandy Magazine. It’s a French publication. Sigh… I really should just start my own magazine called Fancy Pants. Anyway, Angelina sort of gave the goods for Dandy. This interview sounds WAY more interesting than most of the major interviews she gave during the heat of the Unbroken promotion. I’m still mad about the crappy quality of her last Vanity Fair cover story. Some highlights from Dandy:

She was looking for Prince Charming? “At 20, we’re all looking for Prince Charming, the big handsome hunk, only we’re generally disappointed because of his instability. At 40, you know what you want: a real man.”

Her French wedding: “It wasn’t a wedding in grand style, but we were all very at ease, very cool. It was absolutely adorable to see how excited [our children] were by the idea, and how much they were all involved. For example, we told Knox and Shiloh they’d carry the rings without specifying they’d have a cushion to carry them. On the day, they arrived with two matched cushions on their own. I imagine they’d seen it in a movie. In short, they were so cute!”

Why she’s taken a step back from acting: “It’s somewhat personal. When my mother died, I realized how much my being an actress was linked to her desire to be an actress herself, and especially what satisfaction it brought her when she saw me onscreen. Once she was gone, I didn’t feel the same attraction for it. What I really like is to be behind the camera, to put others into the light. Being in the spotlight’s shine doesn’t interest me. I prefer to have my head almost underwater … than be dainty in front of the cameras.”

Her favorite wines: “All the rosés of Provence…Drinking a glass of wine with friends, people we love – there’s nothing better to take away bad toxins.”

The award-winning Jolie-Pitt Miraval Rosé: “Growing vines, harvesting, barreling them is an interesting experience. I learned a lot these last years. I’ve realized that making wine isn’t something that’s improvised. It takes hard work.”

Whether her kids will get tattoos: “I don’t see how I’ll be able to stop them later on. They only need to look at me to know that I’ve very few arguments to dissuade them. Brad, he’s much firmer on the question: It’s ‘nyet’!”

Brad has a lot of ink too, so he won’t be able to argue against tattoos that much either. Still, I hope Brad and Angelina tell their kids to wait until they’re 18 years old at least. As for Angelina going into semi-retirement from acting… she’s been saying versions of that for a while. But it’s funny that she views her filmography as “dainty” in any way. She usually plays badasses, warriors and villainesses.

Oh, and when she was 20 years old, she had already found a Prince Charming, in the way of her then-husband Jonny Lee Miller. He’s still my favorite of all of her men. No joke. I think if Brad hadn’t come along, and Jonny hadn’t met Michele Hicks, Jonny and Angelina might have gotten remarried.
