Jolie continued, "I think I'm going to have to give up the acting as the kids hit the teenage years, anyway, too much to manage at home."

This isn't the first time Jolie has spoken about quitting the business. "Acting helped me as I was growing up.

"So I’m very, very grateful, it’s a fun job. It’s a luxury. Look, I’m at work today in the middle of Venice. But I don’t think I’ll do it much longer.”
