Brad Pitt admits that at one time he wasted a lot of time, but tells the June/July issue of Esquire that he now has focus in life and in his career.
"I spent years f––ing off, but then I got burnt out and felt that I was wasting my opportunity. It was a conscious change. This was about a decade ago."
He adds: "It was an epiphany – a decision not to squander my opportunities. It was a feeling of get up. Because otherwise, what's the point?"
And all of the craziness in his life now he admits he likes.
"I always thought that if I wanted to do a family, I wanted to do it big," he says. "There's constant chatter in our house, whether it's giggling or screaming or crying or banging. I love it. I love it. I love it. I hate it when they're gone. I hate it. Maybe it's nice to be in a hotel room for a day – 'Oh, nice, I can finally read a paper.' But then, by the next day, I miss that cacophony, all that life."
But he's happy right now and that's all that seems to matter to him.
"I have very few friends," he says. "I have a handful of close friends and I have my family and I haven't known life to be any happier. I'm making things. I just haven't known life to be any happier."
