STORY: Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie Attend 'Moneyball' Premiere in Japan "It's quite evident it's a global community and I'm much more interested in erasing those lines that are divisive and open those doors that are inclusive and finding those areas where we relate and learn from each other," he said about Korea's Lotte Cinema investing in World War Z, an upcoming feature he is starring and producing. "World War Z is a big zombie movie. It is based on a book by Max Brooks and it is a global story and it's a perfect film for global contributions, so I guess I'm quite happy about that, why not."

"I personally like aging. With aging comes wisdom, and I'll take wisdom over youth any day. I think certainly being a father has changed everything for me, as far as perspective, taking care of myself and wanting to be around for (the children)," he said. "There seems to be too much emphasis on making a headline or a trophy...I'm much more keen to and interested in (personal victories and wins)."
