    "Brad thinks I'm going to be a nightmare. I had such a good experience he thinks I'm going to be impatient with directors, which I already am.

    I get impatient with people working on a film that have their head in their hands like it's the most complicated thing in the world."


Aside from work-related issues, Brad Pitt's ladylove also address a few rumors. There is "no secret wedding" and as for plans to expand their family, she says, "I'm not pregnant. I'm not adopting at the moment."

The photos were shot by celebrity photographer Mert & Marcus.
