Concluding the interview with the publication, the actress said, “When you have that many children, they really take care of each other. They help me. I’m not alone managing everything. They are an amazing team. So I’m very very fortunate.”
Angelina Jolie also praised writer Mike White for developing the movie. Talking to Digital Spy, she said, “Disney, Mike and everybody involved really (understood) it has its heart. It”s not a light film, it deals with heavy issues, but it is charming, fun and full of life. But it’s deceptive in the packaging.”
