Angelina Jolie has a new interview with MTV news, during which she repeats an earlier claim about how she enjoys shooting and isn’t afraid to protect her family with firearms. The pregnant mother of four is promoting her action film with James McAvoy, Wanted, in which she play an assassin. It’s out in the US and the UK on June 27.

Angelina jokes that she’d prefer to “roll around” with her boyfriend, Brad Pitt, instead of her co-star McAvoy when she’s asked specifically about it. She talks about her tattoos and her character’s tattoos in the film, some of which are for her children. She says she’ll continue to get tattoos in real life too.

Who’s better to roll around with: McAvoy or Pitt?

“Well, you know Brad was … [Laughs] I’ll always prefer rolling around on the floor with him than any other man. You know, in general,” she tells MTV News in a new interview.

When told that “there is no one sexier with a gun than Angelina Jolie,” the actress, 33, replied, “Wow. I’ll take it. I like it.”

What’s so sexy about gunplay?

“I mean, obviously, there’s a part of me that takes the world of violence and death very seriously,” she said. “However, when it comes to protection or when it comes to just the skill of shooting … I’ve gone to the range with sniper rifles and things like that. Brad and I both like it a lot. That is something we have in common.”

In the film, she shows off some new tattoos — but she said not all of them are real. (See other celeb tattoos.)

“We added a bunch. I had ‘toil’ and ‘tears’ based on [Winston] Churchill’s speech,” she said. “I had binary codes that are actually my kids’ initials.”

(As for her real ink, she said, “I have ‘strength of will’ in four different languages. ‘Know your rights’ in different languages. It’s things like that. Very few people pick up on it, but it was [something I did] for me.”)

Does Jolie — who is generating Oscar buzz for Changeling — see more action films in her future?

“I think there’s always going to be a side of me … you know, as long as I can,” she said. “Harrison [Ford] is doing it, and he’s doing it well. It looks like I’ve got some more time.”

Making movies, she added, is “not the thing you love the most. I love being a mom and I do love traveling and the work I get to do with children in the field and with refugees.

“Brad and I take turns working,” she went on. “So instead of it being, ‘I get to work next,’ it’s, ‘You have to work next, because it’s your turn. I’m staying home with the kids.'”

On her year off
She said that she’s not working as much as it seems, because Kung Fu Panda took four days to shoot and she brought Maddox with her. She said they would sit on the floor and “you can come in your pajamas” so it’s “not really hard work.” Angelina noted that it took four months to shoot both Wanted and The Changeling and “it’s not that much in a year.”

She said that working isn’t “the thing you love the most,” and that “I love being a mom, and I do love traveling, and I love the work I get to do with children in the field, and with refugees, so, Brad and I are often… We take turns working, so instead of it being ‘I get to work next,’ it’s ‘You have to work next… it’s your turn. I’m staying home with the kids.'”

When asked about “Atlas Shrugged,” she said that’s one of those “Once in a lifetime films,” that she will most likely do at some point but that “nobody was attached to direct.” She said she’s not sure what is happening with a sequel to “Sin City,” but expressed admiration for the director.

Angelina chose to do Wanted because she was looking for a “physical film” after all the emotional films she was involved with, like Mighty Heart, and The Changeling, and after losing someone close to her. She doesn’t say it was her mom, but she’s obviously talking about her.

As we said before in our coverage of her Entertainment Weekly interview, Angelina will tell you about her life. She may also tell you about her plans, and if they don’t work out and you call her on it, she’ll explain herself without getting defensive.
