ANGELINA JOLIE has backtracked on her decision to "fade away" from acting, insisting she's not ready to retire yet. The Oscar winner recently suggested she was finished with films, and wanted to quit so she could spend more time with her six children and partner Brad Pitt. Hinting her retirement was imminent, she said, "I don't plan to keep acting very long, I'm ready to do a few things now and fade away and get ready to be a grandma one day."

But, speaking at a press conference on Monday (17Nov08) to promote her new movie Changeling, she insists she still has acting ambitions. Jolie says, "I'm not making some retirement announcement. I have a big family and a lot of responsibility at home, and I have the good fortune to financially not have to work all the time. I just feel privileged that I get to be home a lot. Maybe eventually I'll stop (acting)."
