Angelina Jolie admits she struggled breastfeeding her 4-month-old twins, Knox and Viv, simultaneously.

"You think, 'Ah, if anybody can do that, I can do that,' she says in an interview on British show GMTV. "But it's a lot harder than it looks in the books. I did that a few times, but [mostly] I would take turns. It just takes a long time."

(In the books? Tricks like the "double football hold.")

Check out photos of Jolie when she was pregnant with her twins.

Jolie, 33, says she weaned the twins when they were 3 months old. "[That was] about as much as I could do," she says.

So how does having six kids affect her Hollywood commitments with Brad Pitt?

"The only time it ever collides is if, you know, we're trying to get ready for some event where we have to walk a carpet and somebody gets peed on, and figures, 'Oh well, I guess we'll be wearing that this evening," she says.

But she doesn't mind.

"We appreciate how much that keeps us focused on what's important," she says.

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey to air Wednesday, Pitt called their kids "the funniest people I've ever met. And you know it really tells you - it's a great mirror for yourself.

"It really tells you a lot about yourself and who you are and how you react to things," he continues. "They make me better. They make me a better person as a father."
