LONDON, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie says she is looking to "fade away" from acting and stardom so she can devote her time to her children.

The Oscar-winning actress, who starred in "Girl, Interrupted," "A Mighty Heart" and "Changeling," has six children ages 7 and younger.

"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," Jolie told the BBC. "So, I'm not so worried that I want to keep this pace up and try to be something and be a celebrity and be a successful actress forever. ... It's great, but everything comes in seasons. I, hopefully, won't be needing to do that later in my life in any way."

She went on to say, "I don't think I'll ever say, 'I'm never ever going to work,' because maybe there's that interesting project where I feel creative."

Jolie added that she plans to start a new project in February but then "won't work again probably for another year."

"So, maybe it'll be once a year, then maybe it'll be once every three years," she told the BBC. "I like being home a lot these days. ... I have a lot of children. I have a big responsibility to make sure that they're growing right and that they have got us there for them."
