"Brad Pitt has expressed satisfaction at his life with Angelina Jolie and their six children. The couple famously fell in love after shooting the blockbuster action film Mr &amp;amp; Mrs Smith, and announced their engagement early last year.  Pitt opened up about his private life in an Esquire interview, revealing that starting a family with Jolie has been the most rewarding experience of his life. &amp;quot;I have very few friends. I have a handful of close friends and I have my family and I haven&amp;#039;t known life to be any happier,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m making things. I just haven&amp;#039;t known life to be any happier.&amp;quot; He also commented: &amp;quot;I always thought that if I wanted to do a family, I wanted to do it big. I wanted there to be chaos in the house...there&amp;#039;s constant chatter in our house, whether it&amp;#039;s giggling or screaming or crying or banging. I love it. I love it. I love it.  &amp;quot;I hate it when they&amp;#039;re gone. I hate it. Maybe it&amp;#039;s nice to be in a hotel room for a day - &amp;#039;Oh, nice, I can finally read a paper&amp;#039;. But then, by the next day, I miss that cacophony, all that life.&amp;quot;  Pitt also reflected on his past, and acknowledged that his former drug use has taken a toll on him. &amp;quot;For a long time I thought I did too much damage - drug damage. I was a bit of a drifter,&amp;quot; he noted. &amp;quot;A guy who felt he grew up in something of a vacuum and wanted to see things, wanted to be inspired. I followed that other thing. I spent years [expletive] off. But then I got burnt out and felt that I was wasting my opportunity.  &amp;quot;It was a conscious change. This was about a decade ago. It was an epiphany - a decision not to squander my opportunities. It was a feeling of get up. Because otherwise, what&amp;#039;s the point?&amp;quot;  The World War Z actor recently praised fianc\u00C3\u00A9e Jolie as &amp;quot;absolutely heroic for publicly announcing that she had undergone a double mastectomy to decrease the risk of cancer. Jolie&amp;#039;s mother Marcheline Bertrand passed away from cancer aged 56 in 2007. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
