Brad Pitt opened up about his flaws in an interview with Anthony Hopkins for Interview magazine.
Hopkins and Brad first worked in 1994’s western epic Legends of the Fall. The actor was interviewed about his upcoming movie “The Two Popes” and the conversation quickly turned to Brad’s life. Hopkins calls Brad ”as easygoing as ever.”
”Pretty much, it’s my gliding speed,” Brad responds. ”But I lose it at times. I get sucked into something, and I can lose it. I take my hands off the wheel. I’m human.”
He also opened up about turning mistakes into lessons. ”I’m realizing, as a real act of forgiveness for myself for all the choices that I’ve made that I’m not proud of, that I value those missteps because they led to some wisdom, which led to something else,” he says.
“You can’t have one without the other. I see it as something I’m just now getting my arms around at this time in my life. But I certainly don’t feel like I can take credit for any of it.”
“I am quite famously a not-crier.
Is that a term?” I hadn’t cried in, like, 20 years, and now I find myself, at this latter stage, much more moved — moved by my kids, moved by friends, moved by the news. Just moved. I think it’s a good sign. I don’t know where it’s going, but I think it’s a good sign.
”
”We’ve always placed great importance on the mistake. But the next move, what you do after the mistake, is what really defines a person.
We’re all going to make mistakes. But what is that next step? We don’t, as a culture, seem to stick around to see what that person’s next step is. And that’s the part I find so much more invigorating and interesting.”
