Brad Pitt says that while he may not have a large circle of friends, he is content with his life and is happier then ever with the tight group of family and friends he has found. He candidly says that he has never experienced a happier time in his life than right now and is enjoying his big family:
“I have very few friends. I have a handful of close friends and I have my family and I haven’t known life to be any happier. I’m making things. I just haven’t known life to be any happier.”
Brad also honestly speaks about being at a point in his life where he just wasted his time and didn’t do anything productive. He admits he had a period where he “drifted” through life and got burnt out, some of which was just drug related. He says that somewhere along the line he suddenly had a realization that he needed to change and do something with himself instead of wasting his life:
“I’d get so far and then want to do something else. I mean, I’m two credits short of graduating college. Two credits. All I had to do was write a paper. What kind of guy is that? That guy scares me – the guy who always leaves a little on his plate. For a long time I thought I did too much damage – drug damage. I was a bit of a drifter. A guy who felt he grew up in something of a vacuum and wanted to see things, wanted to be inspired. I followed that other thing. I spent years f–king off. But then I got burnt out and felt that I was wasting my opportunity. It was a conscious change. This was about a decade ago. It was an epiphany – a decision not to squander my opportunities. It was a feeling of get up. Because otherwise, what’s the point?”
