ANGELINA JOLIE - JOLIE: 'WE DON'T SPOIL KIDS'

ANGELINA JOLIE insists she and partner BRAD PITT are "normal parents" - because they never spoil their children.
The 33-year-old serves as a Goodwill ambassador for the United Nations in between acting work and her busy family life as mother to six children.
But she is adamant the jetset lifestyle gives her chance to help those less fortunate - and she constantly tells her children how lucky they are.
She says, "Certainly we live in two extremes, but at the same time we wake up every day as parents - parents of children from around the world, whose backgrounds would've been very similar to the street children we see - so there isn't as much as a divide.
"We wake up as a mommy and daddy who want to make sure we're raising our kids with the right values, who want them to see all sides of the world - who want them to be responsible but who also want them to be able to enjoy their lives and the privileges that they have, and not to be ashamed of them but embrace them.
"If they can have better schooling, then (we) give them everything we can possibly give them. (We) never spoil them and never let them forget how fortunate they are, and always make sure they keep one foot in the other side of the world, knowing that they should give back."
Jolie and Pitt are parents to newborn twins Knox and Vivienne, born in July (08), adopted kids Maddox, from Cambodia, Vietnamese son Pax, Ethiopian daughter Zahara, and biological daughter Shiloh.
