Angelina Jolie can be one tough chick. But, even she acknowledges that's not always a good thing.
So how's the world's most famous mother of six working through that? Jolie says she's very much like her kickass Kung Fu Panda character, Tigress - both the good and the bad.
"I think I have her weakness, too," she told reporters at Monday's Hollywood premiere of the animated blockbuster's new sequel.
"She's really tough but she doesn't sometimes know how to be soft," she said.
"It's taken me a little while in my life, and my kids have certainly helped with that to get me a little softer because I have a bit of a hard shell sometimes."
Fortunately, it sounds like Jolie will likely be playing Tigress again.
"I would love to do more," she told us. "They are so much fun. You come to work in your pajamas, you bring your kids...There's just no easier job in the world."
Plus, the flicks hit close to home.
"There is a message about what family is and how family is made (in the movies) and I think today, more than ever, we really can understand that family comes in all different ways," she said.
"Sometimes two mothers, two fathers, single parents, some are adopted, different races. So family is where the love is and family is where you find loyalty and friendship."
