Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie has claimed she will 'never be as good' as her own mother - the late Marcheline Bertrand - but she'll try her best for her six kids.

The 36-year-old, who raises six children, Maddox, 10, Pax, eight, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, with partner Brad Pitt - will try to be a great parent to her children but doesn't think she'll ever be as good a mum as Marcheline, who died in 2007.

In an interview with US TV show 60 Minutes, Jolie said: 'My mother was a full-time mother. She didn't have much of her own career, her own life, her own experiences. Everything was for her children.

'I will never be as good a mother as she was. I will try my best, but I don't think I ever will be. She was the most generous, loving woman. She is better than me.'

Bertrand passed away in 2007 aged 56 after an eight-year battle with ovarian cancer.
