We have been telling you guys a lot about the changes in Jennifer Aniston's life lately and her latest role in the indie flick, Cake, which is garnering Oscar buzz. But she's not the only actress to have grown leaps and bounds. In fact, Angelina Jolie has also recently managed to spin her career in a completely different direction. While Jolie is no stranger to Oscar talk, she has found a new career for herself behind the camera and as it turns out, directing is what she loves most.

Jolie recently directed her second film, Unbroken, which is about the life story of Olympic athlete-turned Air Force POW, Louis Zamperini. Jolie sat for an interview for DuJour recently and in it she discusses acting versus directing.

"I've never been comfortable as an actor; I've never loved being in front of the camera," Jolie says. "I didn't ever think I could direct, but I hope I'm able to have a career at it because I'm much happier."

Is the plan to give up acting entirely? She smiles. "Absolutely."

If you're a fan of Jolie's acting then don't worry just yet. She has one more film on the way, By the Sea, in which she'll be both acting and directing alongside her husband, Brad Pitt. What are your thoughts on Jolie perhaps moving on from acting in favor of working behind the camera? Jolie seems like she is always finding new ways to challenge herself in order to keep growing, doesn't she? Would you miss her work if she really decides to give up acting?
