“My mom loved being a mom and made sure her children knew everyday how much joy we brought to her. I hope to give that to my kids.”

“i knew they would be premature, so when I saw they were big and screaming with healthy lungs, I was at peace.”

“It is chaos, but we are managing it and having a wonderful time.” (their household now totals 8 with six kids between 3 weeks and 7 years old!)

- Angelina

“Viv is proving to resemble Ange in spirit, attitude ad physicality. And knox, a bit of me.”

“The name Vivienne came to us early, as if she named herself. And Marcheline is to honor Angie’s mother. Knox is a family name, my grandfather’s.

“This is Mad’s fourth/fifth time becoming an older bro. He’s asking us when we can have more.”

- Brad Pitt

For the complete story, including 19 pages of intimate family photos and the full interview with Brad and Angelina, pick up this week’s issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Monday- August 5th 2008.

“It was the scariest, most frightening day that I think either of us have ever been through, to come face to face with your little kids who - so young in that kinda situation.”

“We all have this inherent thing that we trust doctors and nurses, that they know what they’re doing. But this mistake occurred right under our noses, that the nurse didn’t bother to look at the dosage on the bottle…”

“Brad is the hardest person to shop for. He has impeccable design taste. And whenever he sees something he likes, he buys it for himself.”

“There’s a side of us that’s so mommy-daddy then there’s a side of us that’s… very man and woman. I’ll leave it at that.”

“I just think it’s all a bit crazy. They just have to make up stuff. We find it odd all the time because we’re probably very boring people when it comes to many things.”

-on false reports that she delivered early when she’s expecting her twins later in the summer of 2008.

“I don’t believe in regrets. It’s a dangerous habit to get into- it makes you pause in your life if you start thinking back and questioning yourself.”

“I’m a strong believer that without justice there is no peace. No lasting peace anyway. I’m somebody who’s very curious about International Criminal Court and supportive of following through on the arrest warrants in Darfur. I’m not somebody that just wants to hold up a white flag and say: ‘Let’s all just get along.’

I think people that do horrible things should be held accountable. I don’t think like in Wanted- which is an action movie- people should (just) be killed. think there should be trials and justice. But the idea behind Wanted is not she’s a badass assassin that just likes to kill people. It’s that, if you ran into Hitler before he did everything, and you knew, would you shoot him? And I would. These assassins are getting lists: They find out who is going to slaughter other people… and they remove them. So that’s the side of me that identified with her. But it is a confusing thing, certainly for rights activists. Don’t read too much into it…”

Isabel Kelly (Stepmom):

“You know, I never wanted to be a mom. Sharing it with you… that’s one thing. It’s another to be looking over my shoulder for the next twenty years, knowing someone else would have done it better… someone else would have done it right.”

“Look down the road to her wedding. I’m in a room alone with her, fixing her veil, fluffing her dress, telling her no woman has ever looked so beautiful. And my fear is she’ll think, “I wish my mom were here.”

Kiki: (America’s Sweethearts):

“Kiki? Kiki-kins? Who’s smoking? I smell smoke. Is someone smoking within a six mile radius of where I’m standing! Stop them Kiki, stop them!”

Katherine Watson: (Mona Lisa Smiles):

“This is all they’re really doing here, isn’t it? They’re just biding time until SOMEBODY proposes!”

“I thought that I was headed to a place that would turn out tomorrow’s leaders, not their wives.”

Erin Brockovich (Erin Brockovich):

“I don’t need pity, I need a paycheck. And I’ve looked. But when you’ve spent the past six years raising babies its real hard to find somebody who pays worth a damn, are ya getting every word of this down honey or am I talking too fast?”

“They’re called boobs, Ed.”

“Are you going to be something else that I have to survive? Because… to tell you the truth… I’m not up to it.”

“Look, I don’t know shit about shit but I know right from wrong!”

“For the first time in my life, I got people respecting me. Please, don’t ask me to give it up.”

“NOT PERSONAL! That is my WORK, my SWEAT, and MY TIME AWAY FROM MY KIDS! IF THAT IS NOT PERSONAL, I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS!”

Maggie Carpenter (Runaway Bride):

“You’re a cynical, exploitive, mean-hearted creep who wouldn’t know real love if it bit him in the armpit.”

“Bless me Father for I have sinned. My last confession was… well. Anyway, I have sorta a technical question. I’ve been having bad thoughts, really bad thoughts… I want to destroy this man’s life, career everything. I want revenge. Now on a sins scale how bad is that? Can I Hail Mary my way out of that?”

“When I was walking down the aisle, I was walking toward somebody who didn’t have any idea who I really was. And it was only half the other person’s fault, because I had done everything to convince him that I was exactly what he wanted. So it was good that I didn’t go through with it because it would have been a lie. But you - you knew the real me.”

“Look, I guarantee that we’ll have tough times. And I guarantee that at some point, one or both of us will want to get out of this thing. But I also guarantee that if I don’t ask you to be mine I’ll regret it for the rest of my life. Because I know in my heart, you’re the only one for me.”

Alice Sutton (Conspiracy Theory):

“This guy’s a restraining order waiting to happen.”

Kitty Kiernan (Michael Collins):

“So which one of you gunslingers is going to ask me to dance?”

Anna Scott (Notting Hill):

“I’m also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.”

Shelby (Steel Magnolias):

“I’d rather have thirty minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special.”

Vivian Ward (Pretty Woman):

“In case I forget to tell you later, I had a really good time tonight.”

“When I was a little girl, my mama used to lock me in the attic when I was bad, which was pretty often. And I would- I would pretend I was a princess… trapped in a tower by a wicked queen. And then suddenly this knight… on a white horse with these colors flying would come charging up and draw his sword. And I would wave. And he would climb up the tower and rescue me. But never in all the time… that I had this dream did the knight say to me, “Come on, baby, I’ll put you up in a great condo.”

“People put you down enough, you start to believe it.”

“I’m gonna treat you so nice, you’re never gonna let me go.”

“Derek Shepherd is the sweet sensitive type. Whether or not he makes bad decisions, there’s always nobleness about him that’s very attractive. Patrick is more complex and interesting than Derek. He has those smiling Irish eyes and a bubbly, fun personality. Regardless of how everyone praises him or the attention he gets, he’s in on the joke and he knows the reality of the situation- that fame and looks are fleeting… He appreciates what he has- that Hollywood is a means to an end. It’s a way to get back to Maine with his family, which is ultimately where he wants to be. He knows what’s real in life, and that’s his family. He lives and breathes for those kids. He’s so excited about having twin boys. And Talula is daddy’s little girl. She can do no wrong in his eyes– until she’s 16 and starts dating!”

-on Grey’s Anatomy costar Patrick “McDreamy” Dempsey

“It’s gross. We use real brains. I think they’re lamb or cow or something. Intestines smell. Brains don’t really smell, but what’s amazing about the brain is that it’s almost like scrambled eggs or soft tofu, almost like a gel. The brain controls so much of what we do, but you could put your finger right through it.”

-on filming Grey’s Anatomy

“The trap is when you start to pay attention to that stuff and care, because in six months, they’re going to be looking at someone else. You know how fickle everyone is. They love it, then they hate it, then they love it. So I’m going to enjoy it because it could be over at any minute.”

- On fame

“It’s pretty remarkable how many people the show touches… I think we are very lucky in that way so, I love when the fans come up to us because they usually have really interesting stories. We are very grateful to the fans, we would have no show without them, you know? You could have the best writing in the world, and you could have the best acting in the world, but if the fans don’t tune in every week, there’s no show. So, I think we have them to be the most thankful for.”

“The chemistry between the cast is very important. We’re a family and have respect for each other. And we have fun, which comes across.”

- On the hit show Grey’s Anatomy

Marriage “is the biggest commitment you can make, and he’s the best man in the world for me. When I first met him, it’s not that I thought, ‘Oh, this is the guy I’m going to marry.’ But it was a very comfortable feeling. He balances me.” -on marrying producer-entrepreneur Cash Warren

“When I was a little girl, it was all about the princess fairy tale, but life is changing everyday, and I’m just going with it.” - on keeping things low-key, getting married at a courthouse with no guests in May 19, 2008

“Being an actor is the easiest job. Just say the lines.”

“Children don’t need a check or a nanny, they need you. Until you can give them that, do us all a favor and stay away from it… I’m a lazy guy. In fact I’m wearing a shirt that says ‘lazy’ on it right now.” -on having his own kids

“It was a great relief in me that I could get to care for something that wasn’t me. And the kids were incredible. They didn’t care if it was 10 in the morning or 1 in the morning; they were constantly laughing. -on his new role as a heroic journalist who helps rescue 60 Chinese orphans in the historical drama The Children of Huang Shi, now playing in limited theaters

“Today’s the day, people. Today’s the day when dark and twisty Meredith disappears forever, and bright and shiny Meredith takes her place. You probably won’t want to be my friend anymore, because the sheer intensity of my happiness will make your teeth hurt, but I’m ok with that, because… Life. Is. Good.

“At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don’t keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That’s how we’re made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines… that are way too dangerous to cross.”

“Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we’re wired that way. Because without it, I don’t know; maybe we just wouldn’t feel real. What’s that saying? Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop.”

“A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don’t know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I’d have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you’re wrong? What if you’re making a mistake you can’t undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can’t pretend we hadn’t been told. We’ve all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying.”

“I can’t think of a single reason why I should be a surgeon, but I can think of a thousand reasons why I should quit. They make it hard on purpose… there are lives in our hands. There comes a moment when it’s more than just a game, and you either take that step forward or turn around and walk away. I could quit but here’s the thing, I love the playing field.”

“We’re adults. When did that happen? And how do we make it stop?”

“You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.”

“Communication. It’s the first thing we really learn in life. Funny thing is, once we grow up, learn our words and really start talking, the harder it becomes to know what to say. Or how to ask for what we really need.”

“And if we’re lucky, we realize, in the face of everything, in the face of life, the true dream is being able to dream at all.”

“At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don’t really expect it. It’s like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it’s not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you , and once in a while people may even take your breath away.”

“Okay, here it is, your choice… it’s simple, her or me, and I’m sure she is really great. But Derek, I love you, in a really, really big ‘pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window’, unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. So pick me, choose me, love me.”

“I need to put her to rest. I need to not become her. I need to not die emotionally crippled and alone. I need to not attend the wedding of Derek Shepherd and Sydney Heron. I NEED TO PUT MY MOTHER TO REST.”

“You know, just because people do horrible things… it doesn’t always mean they’re horrible people.”

“Maybe we’re not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we’re thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we’re thankful for the things we’ll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.”

“Sometimes reality has a way of sneaking up and biting us in the ass. And when the dam bursts, all you can do is swim. The world of pretend is a cage, not a cocoon. We can only lie to ourselves for so long. We are tired, we are scared, denying it doesn’t change the truth. Sooner or later we have to put aside our denial and face the world. Head on, guns blazing. De Nile. It’s not just a river in Egypt, it’s a freakin’ ocean. So how do you keep from drowning in it?”

“Pain, you just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers, you just breath deep and wait for it to subside. Most of the time pain can be managed but sometimes the pain gets you where you least expect it. Hits way below the belt and doesn’t let up. Pain, you just have to fight through, because the truth is you can’t outrun it and life always makes more.”

“I’ve heard that it’s possible to grow up - I’ve just never met anyone who’s actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don’t go our way, we whisper secrets with our best friends in the dark, we look for comfort where we can find it, and we hope - against all logic, against all experience. Like children, we never give up hope…”

“I wish there were a rulebook for intimacy. Some kind of guide to tell you when you’ve crossed the line. It would be nice if you could see it coming, and I don’t know how you fit it on a map. You take it where you can get it, and keep it as long as you can. And as for rules, maybe there are none. Maybe the rules of intimacy are something you have to define for yourself.”

“Something really awful happens… I would like there to be some surprise. I really can’t tell you. I agreed to take a tablet that wipes out your short-term memory.” - On keeping the plot of Sex and the City Movie secret (the movie premiers May 30th 2008 around the world)

“Isn’t it ridiculous? To be a paper doll at my age- it really is heaven on earth.”

“It will be very hard to walk away from ‘Sex and the City’ again. It’s very bittersweet.”

“One of the pleasures is that we allow him to get in too deep. He’s in over his head and has to pull himself out. A character without fear or with no sense of his own inadequacy would be a pain in the ass to be around.” - On Indiana Jones character, Dr. Jones
