Brad Pitt on his Plans for a Soccer Team

Brad Pitt sat down for his first major interview with a British paper since his recent divorce and newfound family.

"The change has been immense," he says. "I've become a father, turned 40, and I've become more clear on the direction that I'd like to take and the things that speak to me.

"In my younger days I was more of a drifter. I'd try many things - I'd try anything. But now there's a real pride in understanding myself and what's important to me and my own values."

He says that becoming a dad has given more focus to his life which now runs much more smoothly.

"It makes you more efficient because you do everything faster," grins Brad. "There's no time for messing around.

"I still value the work I do, but at the same time I value more getting home to the kids. It somehow makes my work mean more because I know somewhere down the road that my kids will see it. That is the way I approach everything now.

"Maybe it was turning 40 as well. There were certain things I wanted to attack and it seems to work. I go back to the kids and it just makes me more efficient and I get the things done that I like to get done, whereas before I probably meandered and drifted more."

As for his future family expansion plans, "I'm not joking around," he says. "I have three kids now and next year I'll have six. Nine. We're looking for a soccer team. I want to compete in the next World Cup."

Namibia holds a special place in his heart and he hopes that the family's recent stay there doesn't harm to country in the long run.

"I'll tell you a funny story," he chuckles. "I was told that at a meeting of the African Union the Namibian Minister Of Tourism was asking South Africa how to benefit from tourism because people didn't go there.

"Two months later we went there, so we may have ruined a good thing. But we were searching for somewhere where we could bring our child into the world and have some semblance of privacy for ourselves and our kids.

"Shiloh was given a Namibian passport and that will bring us back there. At the same time we can invest in the place - a place that Angie had fallen in love with - and help a little bit with their programmes."
