JOIN USThe 'Salt' star, who raises six children with partner Brad Pitt insisted that she is busy devising escape routes to avoid the throng of photographers who follow her wherever she goes, Independent newspaper reported.
"My real life is 90 per cent contained in my house with my kids, who just think I'm weird. When we are at our best, we are just nutty. And the kids want to go out shopping to the market, but you've got 20 people behind you so you just can't."
"But sometimes we try to sneak out - and sometimes for us the easiest thing to do is sneak out of the front door, because everybody is checking the back door! But you try not to live your life that way - it would drive you nuts," said the 35-year-old actress.
Meanwhile, the Oscar-winning actress rubbished the claims that she is a person of 'dark character' and insisted that she has a soft side to her personality which she inherited from her late mother Marcheline Bertrand.
"Sometimes people think of me as being darker, but Johnny has seen me on set giggling; I think maybe a bit of my mom has rubbed off on me, and hopefully I'm a little softer and more female than I'm assumed to be," she added.
