And during an interview with ABC News partners the BBC, the 41-year-old actress and filmmaker also discussed her highly-publicized divorce.

“I don’t want to say very much about that, except to say that it was a very difficult time,” said Jolie. “And we will get through this time and hopefully be a stronger family for it.”

Jolie noted that she’s coping with the divorce by focusing on her children, explaining, “We are and forever will be a family,” adding that she’s “finding a way through to make sure this somehow makes us stronger and closer.”

As for the future, Jolie says, “In five years’ time, I would like to be traveling around the world visiting my children, hoping that they’re just happy and doing really interesting things, I imagine, in many different parts of the world. And I’ll be supporting them.”

Pitt, 53, and Jolie reached a child custody agreement last fall that entitles Jolie oversight of their six children –- Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10, and eight-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

Jolie’s First They Killed My Father, about the Khmer Rouge’s genocide, is set to premiere later this year on Netflix.
