Angelina Jolie Taking a Year Off Work
Angelina Jolie has decided to take a year off to spend time with her family, PEOPLE has learned.
"I'm working this summer. I'm in Prague for a few months, then I take two months off, then I work for two months," Jolie said Tuesday while promoting A Mighty Heart at the Cannes Film Festival. "And then I take a year off."
Asked if the time off will be for her family, she replied: "Yes."
Jolie was speaking to reporters at the exclusive Hotel du Cap while partner Brad Pitt, who produced Heart, looked after their four children in a nearby villa. It was not clear whether Pitt would also take a hiatus in 2008.
The couple walked the Cannes red carpet Monday night for the world premiere of A Mighty Heart along with Mariane Pearl, on whose memoir the film is based, and her son Adam.
The Pitt-Jolie clan will remain at their villa on the French Riviera for several more days more as Pitt premieres Ocean's Thirteen.
Jolie also told reporters on Tuesday about her recent pilot license upgrade the possibility of flying en famille. "Brad has his pilot's license and I've just got my instrument rating, so we're moving forward with that but we haven't had a lot of time because of the kids and with Pax coming home," she said.
"I wouldn't fly the kids at this moment. I would only fly the kids if I had been actively flying for a few months and when I'm not at all rusty."
Jolie, a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations' Refugee Agency, insisted she will continue her campaign for justice around the world, even though there have been concerns for her safety: "I don't want to live inside a box. I will be smart, but I will lead a very bold life, and I will learn about the world."
Asked by PEOPLE how she is enjoying her time in France with her family, Jolie smiled and replied: "It's lovely. It's been lovely."

Didn't she claim the same thing after she had the baby?

Thank goodness I am not the only one AND I will believe it when I see it. She said the same thing recently and didn't go through with it.
I really can't stand her.

me too!!
I understand loving what you do- but come one. You don't *have* to work. Take some time off to enjoy being with your kids. I don't understand why she didn't do that before.

Re: Angelina Jolie Taking a Year Off Work
I'll believe it when I see it. It seems to me that her and Brad are just eating up all this media attention... more her than him though. I don't see her just letting it die down by taking a year off.
