Brad Pitt: Angelina Is My Soul Mate

Brad Pitt feared he was at risk of turning into a 'doughnut' when he was younger - because he was smoking so much dope, he has revealed. Pitt said he was determined to stop smoking pot because it was making him hide away from the world.

So he quit - and says he has never looked back. Pitt said: "I liked to smoke a bit of grass at the time, and I became very sheltered. Then I got bored. I was turning into a damn doughnut, really. So I moved as far away from that as I could. I was done. "In Missouri, where I come from, we don't talk about what we do - we just do it. If we talk about it, it's seen as bragging." In a wide-ranging interview with a US magazine, he also talks of his 'soul mate', Angelina Jolie, and reveals why they have yet to tie the knot. He also said he would not mind if any of the couple's six children turned out to be gay. Brad, 45, said: "I have love in my life, a soul mate - absolutely. "When someone asked me why Angie and I don't get married, I replied, 'Maybe we'll get married when it's legal for everyone else.' "I stand by that, although I took a lot of flak for saying it - hate mail from religious groups. "I believe everyone should have the same rights. They say gay marriage ruins families and hurts kids. "Well, I've had the privilege of seeing my gay friends being parents and watching their kids grow up in a loving environment. "Would it bother me if a child of mine turns out to be gay? No, not one bit. Listen, I want my kids to live the lives they want to live. I want them to be fulfilled. "I hope I teach my kids to be who they really are." He tells the new issue of Parade magazine, on newsstands later this week: "Man, I resent people telling others how to live! It drives me mental! "Just the other night, I heard this TV reverend say that Angie and I were setting a bad example because we were living out of wedlock, and people should not be duped by us! It made me laugh. "What damn right does anyone have to tell someone else how to live if they're not hurting anyone? How many times do you think real love comes to someone in a lifetime? "If you're lucky, maybe two or three. Do you know how you tell real love? It's when someone else's interest trumps your own. "I like to put it that way: trumps your own. "Love of somebody else - of family, of your kids - becomes the most important, most worthwhile thing in your life."
