Angelina Jolie has claimed that she is the "happiest mummy" because she can balance her film career with her family.

The actress, who has six children with partner Brad Pitt, told Good Morning America that looking after her family is her main priority.

"I’d say kids first, kids, woman to Brad and then my work internationally and… trying to educate myself and trying to learn about the world and… trying to do some good things while I’m alive," she said.

"I’ve been lucky enough to have a great career and a lot of success. But I wake up every day just the happiest mummy… I don’t want to wake up one day and say I had my career that expanded so much longer and I did that many more films and miss out on all those other things in life."

When asked what her children think of her movies, she replied: "I think they only think I animate Kung Fu Panda… and that’s the extent of my career."
