In the new issue of Rolling Stone (out Friday), Brad Pitt comes to Angelina Jolie's defense over a recent New York Times article that says she is a master at controlling the press.

"It sounded to me like the story made Angie out to be manipulative in some way," he says. "She is savvy."

He continues, "I get defensive. [They're] talking about not only the woman I love, but one of the people on this planet who I have the greatest respect for. I think she's as honorable as anyone I've ever met."

He adds that Jolie got him into flying.

"She's definitely more experienced," he says. "Yeah, she's badass."

Look back at Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's most unforgettable moments of 2008.

As for his favorite Jolie film?

Their 2005 action flick Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

Why?

"Because you know ... six kids," he says. "Because I fell in love."

Meanwhile, he says his new fantasy drama The Curious Case of Benjamin Button got him thinking about his own mortality.

"Angie and I do not fight anymore," he says. "What occurred to me on this film, and also with the passing of her mother [actress Marcheline Bertrand in 2007], is that there's going to come a time when I'm not going to get to be with this person anymore. I'm not going to get to be with my children anymore. Or friends, people I love and respect. And so, if we have a flare-up, it evaporates now."

Adds Pitt, 44, "I don't want to waste time being angry at someone I love."

    I really hate Angelina Jolie.She's a great liar telling the whole world that she doesn't get into an affair with a married man.And now what can she say?She's a home wrecker no.1 .Even if she's big time charity woman,noone forgets what she has done to Jennifer Aniston !

    The point is Angie uses her charity work and big donations to control her image in the media its called " Damage Control" There are lots of celebs who do the same but do not make it public Are we the public that stupid not to see what is going on here?

    It's about time BRAD started defending Angie. It's taken him a long time to just come out and say ' She's the Love of My Life'! Why didn't he do that ages ago. Hope Jen reads Rolling Stone.

    Brad and Angie are in the public eye due to their celebrity status and the press are the ones that won't let them be. How can anyone believe everything they read. They are by far one of the most down to earth couple who have a generous heart for the disadvantaged. How many hollywood elite can you say that about? KUDOS to them.
