Pitt: It's all about family
Guy Ritchie, who is expecting a new baby, interviews
Brad Pitt in the new Interview mag, and the topic is all about family. Pitt, 48, says he chooses projects on the basis of how it affects his family life with

When Ritchie says he'd love to hear Pitt speak more about his personal life, Pitt says, "Yeah, I bet you would."
