"I always thought if I wanted to do a family, I wanted to do it big. I wanted there to be chaos in the house. There's constant chatter in our house, whether it's giggling, screaming, crying or banging," he said.
"I love it. I hate it when they're gone. Maybe it's nice to be in a hotel room for a day -- 'Oh, nice, I can finally read a paper'. But then, by the next day, I miss that cacophony, all that life," he added.
In fact, Pitt is so content being a family man that he claims to never have known a better life.
"So many people hate me because they think I'm disrespecting them," Pitt says adding, "It's a mystery to me, man. I can't grasp a face and yet I come from such a design/aesthetic point of view. I am going to get it tested."
Pitt's full interview with Esquire is available in the physical issue of the magazine, out now.
