The transcript:
NATALIE MORALES:
(To Jack Black) And you're gonna be a daddy. Actually, well, congratulations all around in this room 'cause we're all expecting. Your wife and you are expecting your second....
JACK BLACK:
I know. I got the phone on vibrate 'cause I might have to leave this interview.
NATALIE MORALES:
Uh-oh.
NATALIE MORALES:
Any day, right?
JACK BLACK:
Yeah, any day.
NATALIE MORALES:
Yeah. And what about you, Angelina? You're getting pretty close yourself, right?
ANGELINA JOLIE:
In a few months.
NATALIE MORALES:
A few months. And you've been feeling good? Has the pregnancy been different... ?
ANGELINA JOLIE:
...Well, it's different that I'm -- I have four kids now. So--
NATALIE MORALES:
Yeah, that is a lot. (LAUGHTER)
ANGELINA JOLIE:
...the doctors keep saying, "Relax."
NATALIE MORALES:
Well, you seem so relaxed.
ANGELINA JOLIE:
I am very re-- I'm very happy. I-- well, unlike most women, I love being pregnant.
NATALIE MORALES:
I do, too. What-- what do you like most about being pregnant?
ANGELINA JOLIE:
I-- I guess it just reminds you of all those things - you feel more like a woman than you've ever felt. You just feel like everything about your body is there for your baby and you're just-- just feels-- nice. I don't know.
NATALIE MORALES:
You're getting a lot of kung fu action in your belly right now? (LAUGHTER)
ANGELINA JOLIE:
Yeah. Yeah.
NATALIE MORALES:
Are you gonna stay here in France to deliver?
ANGELINA JOLIE:
Possibly.
NATALIE MORALES:
Possibly, yeah. And-- and, Brad, you guys both looking forward to-- to adding to the family?
ANGELINA JOLIE:
Yeah, of course we are.
JACK BLACK:
You're gonna have as many as Brady Bunch when you have these.
NATALIE MORALES:
So is that confirmed? Is it two?
ANGELINA JOLIE:
Yeah, yeah.
NATALIE MORALES:
So you're having twins?
JACK BLACK:
I'm all-- I'm glad I didn't blow it!
ANGELINA JOLIE:
Well Jack's just confirmed it actually.
JACK BLACK:
Is that true?
ANGELINA JOLIE:
Yeah, you did.
JACK BLACK:
I can't confirm or deny.
ANGELINA JOLIE:
No, no, no. We're out. We're fine.
NATALIE MORALES:
You know the sexes of the babies or are you keeping that private?
ANGELINA JOLIE:
We'd like to keep that private.
*****
NATALIE MORALES:
Do you talk to your children about what's going on around the world?
ANGELINA JOLIE:
Uh-huh.
NATALIE MORALES:
Let them know where they came from and...
ANGELINA JOLIE:
Yeah, they all know. They all know their-- even our boys know that their countries didn't have the most peaceful relationship. (LAUGHTER) I mean, they know. But they have a real pride in who they are. Our daughter's very proud that she's African. And our boys are very proud that they're Asian - they know about their country. And it's even funny-- they're little. So it's funny - things down to their food or their flags or their music. But yeah, we keep nothing from them when we take them around the world. So they're more resilient than we are as adults.
You know, they-- they can understand things and absorb them and put them kind of in the right place as-- and as we all know, they ask great questions about life. And you see something happening and they'll say, "Well, why is this?" And they ask questions about war that are poignant and spot on because they're the questions we should all be asking ourselves.
