Hollywood screen siren Angelina Jolie said she may quit making movies and marry Brad Pitt for the sake of their children.

The 33-year-old actress said her family is now the most important thing in her life.

"The kids are my priority, so it's possible that from now on I will make fewer movies. I may even stop altogether," Jolie told the Italian edition of Vanity Fair magazine.

"I no longer have the ambition I had in my 20s."

Jolie, who gave birth to twins in July, now has six children with partner Pitt, including three adopted children and their first biological child, Shiloh.

When asked if she planned to marry Pitt, Jolie said her children may sway her decision.

"Usually people fall in love and everything revolves around the ritual of marriage, children are an afterthought … we did everything backwards," Jolie told Vanity Fair.

"But sooner or later it will be the kids who ask us [to get married].

"You know, they see films and start asking questions, such as, 'Why are Shrek and Fiona married and you're not? '"

Jolie said her life had become a lot more adventurous and chaotic with her growing family.

"Brad [Pitt] and I pilot airplanes, we travel non-stop, we go to difficult places and we have chosen to do it taking all of the kids with us."

Her children had developed a taste for globetrotting, she said, adding that she wanted them to keep a worldly view.

"I want them to be able to walk through a marketplace in Adis Ababa and not bat an eye, not think it is dirty and ugly, but that it just represents another part of the world and humanity.''
