Brad Pitt -- "I'm Kinda Sick of Myself"

Brad PittFor Brad Pitt, satisfaction is getting a burp out of "that thing" known as his baby daughter, Shiloh Nouvel.

That, amongst other things, is what Pitt told the Today Show's Ann Curry Monday morning in an exclusive interview from New Orleans, where Pitt was surveying the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and promoting environmentally-friendly solutions for the rebuilding of the ravaged city. Working in conjunction with the non-profit Global Green, Pitt said that he has invested $100,000 to help the citizens of New Orleans.

Pitt laid bare the impelling force behind his good works, telling Curry, "I got kids now. And it really changes your perspective on the world. And, you know, I've had my day...I'm so tired of thinking about myself. I'm kinda sick of myself."

And though much artistic work may lie ahead, Pitt says he's got a new project that's consuming him: "You can write a book, you can make a movie, you can draw, paint a painting, but having kids is really the most extraordinary thing I've ever taken on. And, man, if I can get a burp out of that, that little thing, I'll feel such a sense of accomplishment."

301. Pitt and Jolie did a favor for Miss Aniston. Now she can find real love with a real man. Also, there are extremely poor children right here in America. Whats wrong with them?

302. He's sick of himself but can't seem to stop talking about himself. We need to stop going to the movies and supporting their million dollar plus salaries so they can spend it overseas. Brad you're forgetting whose paying your salary! We are! Boycott Hollywood and hold onto your own money! Just what would they do without us?

304. Does anyone know the reason this "fab" couple (pardon while I barf) came back from Africa after the birth? It's because no personal trainer would go to Namibia and, well, let's face it, the new mom needed a personal trainer so she could have her photo taken above the knees.

306. The whole Brad/Angie episode is getting old. As far as contributing $100,000, add a few zeros to help the homeless families in this Country and I will be impressed.

307. Yes, I am sick of you and her. She can't seem to forgive her father for being unfaithful to her mother yet it appears she was doing the same thing with pitt while he was married, so what is the difference.
whoopee, 100,000 to donate when they have a fortune, just how far do they think that will go, like no where. They sure don't have a problem spending and giving in foreign countries while the U.S. people are the ones that spend there money going to see the movies they make. I won't be spending mine anymore to see them. Did they ever think of feeding the needy and touring the poor sections in OUR OWN COUNTRY, or adopting from OUR OWN COUNTRY called the U.S.
She is a spoiled little brat and so is he.

309. Geez, Brad,a new baby...how wonderful! Now let's see if you have all "the right stuff" to have a lifelong relationship with your daughter...we all know you don't seem to stick to one thing for very long before you move on to to your next "project".

311. True, we've all heard enough about Brad Pitt and his personal life. However, anytime someone donates their time and money for helping others (for whatever reasons), it's good thing and not to be dismissed. I think the reason we always hear about this Hollywood couple donating is because they give on a regular basis. If they are doing all this for publicity big deal...at least they are doing it . If other Hollywood stars were donating we would hear about it too...their publicists would be sure of that. So really what were learning, is that the vast majority of stars making money hand over fist are not handing it over for charity. If have to hear about Brad Pitt being charitable it's okay, maybe it will inspire others to do the same.

312. You people should look at your own lives-what percentage of your income have you sent to New Orleans? Yes, he makes more and I bet he works more and has a hell of a lot more stress than most of us. We're all trying to figure life out, not one of us is perfect. Quit being negative and judgemental-you aren't in his shoes.

315. I think that Brad is doing wonderful things. I don't like to hear people judge other people about their lifestyles and wish that people would open their hearts to truth and realize that none of us are perfect. He who is without sin, cast the first stone. Keep up the good work Brad and Angie and God bless your family.
