Academy Award winning actress Angelina Jolie is still relishing the critical acclaim showered upon her latest film, Unbroken, her second directorial effort, but she doesn't let the glow and the glitter make her idle.  In fact, the box-office star is already excited for her new project, By The Sea, which will see her act with her husband, Brad Pitt. The actress is also By the Sea's director and writer.

But the actress-director admitted it's not easy to work with your husband.

"It feels a little daunting," she said in an interview with Radio Times.

The last time the two worked together was in Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2005.

"We haven't worked together for ten years. But all of the reasons why people say we should be scared of it, we feel that's exactly why we have to do this - because we can. So we're going to go boldly."

However, Jolie is confident of her husband's brilliant acting. She in fact praised him.

"He's a pretty strong actor! It's going to be interesting. He's a really great artist, such an interesting artist, and of course he's the man I love, so I think we're going to have a great time," she said. 

Going on the lighter side of things... Radio Times' interview with her touched on her and Pitt's love for tattoos. However, she revealed that she does not encourage nor wants her six kids to have them.

In fact, the actress has expressed difficulty in turning down her kids' request for tattoos.

"They're already asking me about tattoos," she said.

She explained that it is quite difficult for Brad to see her girls get a tattoo.

"For some reason, men get a little more sensitive when the daughter gets a tattoo. And Brad thinks the girls can do no wrong. He's mush in their hands!" she explained.

She also told Radio Times about how she and Brad foresee the chances of their kids joining Hollywood.

"We've always said, if they want to act, we won't let them only act, because it's not enough. They'll have to find a real job at the same time. But I'm hoping that when they see all the other things in the world, they'll be inspired to be writers, politicians, activists," she said.

She said that her kids are individual people who could decide for what they really want in life later on, so she imagines her kids might not follow her steps at all.
