Actress Angelina Jolie recently chatted to CBS News television correspondent, Bob Simon, about her new film, family, relationships and dreams.

36-year-old Jolie went on to discuss her dreams of being a funeral director. She said to Simon “It sounds like this very strange, eccentric, dark thing to do. But, in fact, I lost my grandfather and I was very upset with his funeral.”

Angelina has been known for being a bad girl in her time. When Simon questioned her on this she replied “You know, I still have that side of me that is it's just it's in its' place now. It belongs it you know, it belongs to Brad. Or it belongs to our adventures.”

Jolie welled up when talking about her mum who passed away in 2007. The actress said “I will never be as good a mother as she was. I will try my best, but I don't think I could ever be. She was she was just grace incarnate. She was the most generous, loving she's better than me.”

Jolie’s film, In the Land of Blood and Honey, is due to be released on December 23, 2011 in the USA.
