With his new movie "Killing Them Softly"
set to hit theaters on November 30, Brad Pitt garnered himself a little added
exposure by covering the November 2012 issue of Interview magazine.
The 48-year-old actor looked handsome as
he suited up for the Steven Klein shot spread while talking about topics
including his acting career and his passion to be behind the camera.
On choosing his films:
"Yeah. I mean, as you know, so much of
making movies is about discovery on the day, what you're figuring out. If you
know everything going in, then it's not worth doing—it's already done. So I'm
interested in finding people who I think have a voice—and a very specific voice.
It's hard to be surprised by a film. It's hard to be surprised by another actor
or by a director when you've seen enough and been around. So when I am, or when
I forget that I'm watching someone's movie, or when I don't know how someone
made a certain turn that I didn't expect . You know, I'm in."
On using different dialects in his
work:
"Well, you know, I like a bit of song,
and dialect is a song. I'm most comfortable with the Southern dialects, really.
It's easy, for example, for me to do Irish because we've got Irish heritage
where I come from. We also have some German heritage. The Upper East Coast,
though, is a little bit more connected to a British heritage."
On his producing career:
"Yeah. I'd rather be behind the camera.
As a producer, obviously, you're part of a team that brings the story to the
screen. It wouldn't be there if you didn't champion it or if you and a group of
people weren't championing it. I like that."

Brad Pitt Premieres "Killing Them Softly" at Cannes
Brad Pitt's always a festival favorite,
and Brad Pitt was in fine form as he attended the 65th Cannes Film Festival
premiere of his new movie "Killing Them Softly" on May 22 .
Joined by his costars, the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" star looked dapper as he worked his magic on the fans and paparazzi outside the Palais des Festivals prior to the screening.
Making for quite the site to be seen, other celebrities packing the glitzy red carpet included a red hot Irina Shayk and her model gal pal Karolina Kurkova, as well as Diane Kruger, Joshua Jackson, Sean "Diddy" Combs, tennis ace Novak Djokovic, Kelly Brook, Alec Baldwin, Cassie, Michelle Rodriguez and Jeremy Irons.
When asked if he was concerned about the level of violence in the film and its affect on his kids, Brad explained, "Not at all. Violence is an accepted part of the gangster world. I'd have a harder time playing a racist than some guy who shoots another guy in the face."
Pitt added, "Ever seen them butcher a cow for hamburger? It's incredibly brutal and violent. We live in a very violent world."
