The "Unbroken" director - who has children Maddox, 14, Pax, 11, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, nine, and seven-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with husband Brad Pitt - would love to spend more time with her six kids if she wasn't so busy in front and behind the camera, reported Entertainment Tonight.
"I think I'd just be home being a mom more. I love being a mommy. I love my kids so I'd just stay home."
Meanwhile, the 40-year-old actress previously revealed her children think she is a bit "weird".
"I mean, there are moments when I can be cool, but they like to mess with me. They like to make fun of me. I'm just little mommy.
