Here are some photos of Angelina Jolie, Knox Jolie-Pitt, Maddox Jolie-Pitt and James Haven leaving LA and arriving in NYC. I haven’t seen James Haven, Angelina’s brother, in what feels like a long time. James and Angelina have always been close, but for years now, James rarely gives interviews or speaks about his sister in any way. It’s pretty rare to see photos of them together these days, although I don’t doubt that James is a doting uncle.

On Friday, Angelina was the guest editor for BBC Radio Four’s Women’s Hour – you can listen to the whole show here. She guest-edited ahead of World Refugee Day (today), and she was just doing more work on behalf of her many refugee-centered and women’s rights-centered humanitarian work. But she also got personal about her family, and there were some great quotes. Some highlights:

All the kids are multilingual: “It’s been very interesting, all the kids are learning different languages. I asked them what languages they are learning and wanted to learn and Shi’s learning Khmer, which is the Cambodian language, Pax is focusing on Vietnamese, Mad has taken on German and Russian. Z’s speaking French. Vivienne really wanted to learn Arabic and Knox is learning sign language. It suppose it just means you don’t know who you’re children are until they show you who you are and they’re just becoming whoever they want to be… they are interested in other cultures”.

None of the kids want to act: “None of my kids want to be actors. They are actually very interested in being musicians. I think they like the process of film from the outside. Mad is interested in editing. Pax loves music and deejaying.”

BRCA gene, double mastectomy & oophorectomy: “I thought that I had gained information that I wish my mother would have known, I wish she’d had the option, I wish she’d had the surgery, in fact, it might have given her more years with my family. I think it’s really important that we all share anything we learn and we stay connected. I believe in the way women can share and support each other….”

The wider conversation about women’s health: “It means a great deal to me. If there is even one woman out there who went and got checked and found that she had cancer or she was positive and she caught something in time, and if in any small way I was a part of that, it makes me very emotional.”

Giving birth to Shiloh in Namibia: “I went to a hospital in Namibia, where I was having my daughter, and I was in breech. I needed a C-section, and I knew I was in breech because I had had the money to have an ultrasound. But I found even the local hospital with many, many women – and this was a good hospital – did not have an ultrasound machine. So the amount of women that didn’t know they were in breech, the amount of babies and complications when they got into labor, with one simple machine. But I know there are many extraordinary people who are working on this and women’s health around the world, and many groups dedicated solely to that, and their work is so needed and these solutions can come.”

I want to hear Zahara speak French! Hell, I’d love to hear the kids speak in any language. I also think it’s funny/interesting that none of the kids give a crap about acting. I would have thought that maybe the littlest ones (Vivienne and Knox) might show an interest, but I guess not. I still think Brad and Angelina will have at least one actor with six kids. And maybe one deejay, although I don’t think deejaying should be the career end-goal. Music producer, songwriter, musician? Sure, aim for one of those. But how can you aim to be a deejay?
