Angelina Jolie is considering quiting acting for the sake of he family. The 37-year-old told Britain's Channel 4 News that she may quit the acting game soon to take care of her husband, Brad Pitt and their six children:Maddox, 11, Pax, 9, Zahara, 7, Shiloh, 6, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 4.

According to Us Weekly, the actress opened up in her British interview and said, "I think I'm going to have to give up acting as the kids hit the teenage years." Six children may be a handful as she and her husband do worldly good, acting may have to wait because there is,"too much to manage at home." The actress added,"I've enjoyed being an actress. "And I am so grateful to the job. I've had great experiences, and I have even be able to tell stories and be a part of stories that mattered...It's a really lucky profession to be a part of. But if it went away tomorrow, I would be very happy to be home with my children."

Months ago, her future husband told Australia's 60 Minutes that he plans on retiring in three years from Hollywood as well. In a November, "Moneyball" press conference Pitt said, "I wasn't actually putting an exact deadline on my expiration date, but I see it coming. I just have other interests." The couple may want to focus on their humanitarian work more often in order to do good and keep them busy.

Jolie plans on making a difference in the world rather than creating fantasies on film. Praised for her humanitarian work the recently appointed UNHCR Special Envoy wants to set an example for many to help the needy, which was a passion for her after she adopted her son, Maddox in 2002. "I wake up in the morning as a mum, and I turn on the news like everybody else, and I see what's happening, and I want to be part of the world in a positive way."
