Now hitched, the next question on everyone's mind is of course, children. Doesn't look like kids anytime soon. Pitt says, "I'm still a little selfish... I'm sure I'll f*** them up somehow."

                      ON GWENYTH PALTROW

Gwenyth Paltrow is reportedly heartbroken over the Pitt-Aniston union but for Pitt that's in the past, he mentions her only once during the interview, referring to her coolly as, "Paltrow."

ON EARLY ROLES

He's now filming The Spy Game, a $90 million thriller directed by Enemy of the State's Tony Scott. Pitt admits, "I like playing a soldier. It's like being 7 years old again. But listen to these lines: Target in sight. Do we still have the go? Repeat, do we still have the go? Being a grown man, I feel silly." Pitt quickly gets serious and states frankly, "War is the dumbest thing I've sever heard of."

GUY RITCHIE ON BRAD PITT

(JEN: I KNOW YOU WANTED ME TO TAKE THIS OUT BUT I FEEL ITS IMPT SINCE ITS TIMELY INFO). After mega-films Seven Years in Tibet and Meet Joe Black, Pitt wants to go indie. He was so impressed with Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels that he immediately called the English director, volunteering for any future roles, reports Details. Size of role nor paycheck mattered. Although Ritchie was wary at first, Pitt was so convincing in his mastery of the obscure and indecipherable "Pikey" accent, the director thought of subtitling his lines.

"Brad's a film star in the Paul Newman-y sense," says Ritchie. "I can understand what all the kids go bonkers about ... I don't mean to blow smoke up his ass, but he was experimental, interesting and intelligent."

JULIA ROBERTS ON BRAD

"Brad never complains," says Julia Roberts, his co-star in the upcoming film, The Mexican. "If I had to describe him in two words, I'd say sunny disposition. He radiates it to everyone around him ... He's a very low-key groovy guy," she continues, "I think Brad is entering new territory with this part. He's not handsome, he has no standout quality. And he's so earnest doing it."

BENICIO DEL TORRO ON BRAD

"He gets a bad rap in the press for being just a pretty face. He's not."
