Angelina Jolie's charity work is her main priority.

The 'Changeling' actress - who is a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations (UN) - says that despite her successful career and six children with partner Brad Pitt, helping those less fortunate is her biggest concern.

She said: "I cannot sit quietly while others die of hunger. I don't want to abandon my commitment to the United Nations. It has no greater priority."

Angelina relies on Brad to help her juggle work and her family and couldn't be as committed to the UN without him.

She added: "We are a good team. I do take my time outs, but most of all I get support from Brad. That is important to me and gives me strength."

Despite giving birth to twins Knox and Vivienne in July, the 33-year-old star has already got back in shape, and credits "discipline" for her slimline figure.

She added to Germany's Cosmopolitan magazine: "I'm very disciplined. I have a balanced diet and among other things I do Pilates. I feel more comfortable and I do have a lot more energy."
