Brad Pitt Is Finally 'Satisfied' | Parade.com

I wouldn't ordinarily be interested in this, but I had argued a while back that Jennifer Anniston had a serious problem with keeping men's interests, and this interview does not seem to disprove my views.

Possibly, but it doesn't change a thing to the fact that Brad Pitt is no gentleman. She's well shot of him.

I see you remember. And who ever said that I wanted to make a case for Brad Pitt? I've never even seen what women see in him (or men in Angelina Jolie, for that matter). I was only interested to see my view of Aniston supported. And let's face it, whatever it is that ties him to Angelina, it looks like they'll make it into middle age, which, for Hollywood, is loyalty unto death.

“I spent the ‘90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony. I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic. It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself. I think that my marriage [to actress Jennifer Aniston] had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t."

As far as I can tell from the rest of this interview, the subject of this paragraph is always an only him -- and whether he's satisfied with himself. The background is only that. I'd bet he'd be dismayed if you said he had discussed Aniston at all, and think you'd missed the point: it was about HIM.

1) As I told shezan above, this was never meant to be in praise or defence of Brad Pitt, an actor whose appeal I don't understand. It was about Jennifer Anniston's obvious inability to keep the attachment of any man - a fact, and something on which I mocked her when she made a more than usually Hollywood-stupid remark about relationships.
2) I think you will find that accounts of collapsed relationships mostly do make a great deal of use of the first person singular. And why not? it is about how the individual fit in or did not.
