Angelina Jolie finds raising six children "easy".

The 37-year-old actress insists she and fiance Brad Pitt never worry about missing anything in their careers due to the demands of caring for Maddox, 10, Pax, eight, Zahara, seven, Shiloh, six, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne because they enjoy family life so much.

She said: "It's just so easy for me to be looking after the kids even though it takes a lot of energy and you don't have much time for yourself.

"The children are so much a part of my life and Brad's that we don't worry or stress ourselves about not working more often."

However, the 'Maleficent' star admits her large brood means she often feels sleep deprived, though this is changing now the kids are getting older.

She added to Britain's OK! magazine: "I don't feel as if I'm depriving myself from anything except maybe sleep. But now that the twins are older, Mommy and Daddy are getting a little more rest and time to be together.

"It's always hectic but more manageable than when I had two very small babies who needed to be constantly with me. That was the most difficult time but even then it was also a very beautiful time in our lives."
