Angelina Jolie Taking a Year Off Work
Angelina Jolie has decided to take a year off to spend time with her family, PEOPLE has learned.
"I'm working this summer. I'm in Prague for a few months, then I take two months off, then I work for two months," Jolie said Tuesday while promoting
A Mighty Heart at the Cannes Film Festival. "And then I take a year off."
Asked if the time off will be for her family, she replied: "Yes."
Jolie was speaking to reporters at the exclusive Hotel du Cap while partner Brad Pitt, who produced
Heart, looked after their four children in a nearby villa. It was not clear whether Pitt would also take a hiatus in 2008.
Jolie also told reporters on Tuesday about her recent pilot license upgrade the possibility of flying
en famille. "Brad has his pilot's license and I've just got my instrument rating, so we're moving forward with that but we haven't had a lot of time because of the kids and with
Pax coming home," she said.
"I wouldn't fly the kids at this moment. I would only fly the kids if I had been actively flying for a few months and when I'm not at all rusty."
Jolie, a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations' Refugee Agency, insisted she will continue her campaign for justice around the world, even though there have been concerns for her safety: "I don't want to live inside a box. I will be smart, but I will lead a very bold life, and I will learn about the world."
Asked by PEOPLE how she is enjoying her time in France with her family, Jolie smiled and replied: "It's lovely. It's been lovely."
