Angelina Jolie sits down with Anderson Cooper for an interview, which will air on Monday, to chat about family, traveling, and her new directorial debut ‘In the Land of Blood and Honey‘.

Angelina shared that there were no caterers involved in their Thanksgiving dinner this year:

“Brad and I decided we were actually going to make the turkey and we were very successful and very proud of ourselves.  We did it! This was just the two of us with the kids watching trying to pretend we knew exactly what we were doing. We actually have family dinner every night. We make a point of it. It’s crazy. There’s a good five minutes were everybody is quiet and sitting together and then it starts to break off.”

Angelina shared that their six children, Maddox, Pax, Shiloh, Zahara, Vivienne, and Knox, all love to travel and even started doing their own packing:

“Now we are starting to get them where they each have their own luggage and they unpack their own clothes and pack their own. Because it was just getting to confusing for me to figure out but it’s great, it’s so much fun. Fortunately, my kids love to travel… they’re very worldly.  What I love is that they can be in New York in a hotel in Manhattan and think it’s so cool, and then I can bring them to the middle of Kenya and drop them in a tent with no TV and no nothing, and they’re just as happy.”
