Brad Pitt Talks Marriage & Staying Off Twitter

Brad Pitt married Angelina Jolie in August and the actor has opened up about what being a husband means to him.

In a new interview with GQ, Brad said marriage isn’t “just a title.”

“There’s more to it than that,” he told the mag.

His family life and six children have caused him to pause before signing on for roles now.

“I’m actually very snobbish about directors. I have to say no all the time. ‘No’ is the most powerful word in our business. You’ve got to protect yourself,” he said. “To leave home, it’s got to be worth leaving. It’s got to be worth it.”

The “Fury” star also dished on why he doesn’t have a Twitter account.

“Listen, I see a benefit in it,” he told the mag of the social media network. “You could, you know, combat the misconceptions of the misquotes immediately. And if I’d have had that in my younger days, I’d have used it… because I felt quite used, and completely misunderstood, and misread, and not given the benefit of the doubt.

“You know, I felt that a lot in my first years. I would have brought some logic to the table, and brought it immediately,” he continued. “But now, at this point, I don’t want to bother with it.”
