KEY POINTS:
Brad Pitt has spoken openly about his charity work, his children and his love for partner Angelina Jolie in an interview on CNN's Larry King Live.
Despite calling fatherhood being 'the hardest job in the world',
Pitt, 43, said his four children - Maddox, 6, Zahara, 2, Pax, 4, and Shiloh, 1 - make him 'so proud'.
"They're as much my blood as I am theirs. And they are brothers and sisters. And I look at this. One of them came from Ethiopia, and one from Vietnam, one from Cambodia and one was born in Namibia. And they are brothers and sisters. And they have fun, and they squabble and they fight, just like any other family.
"We put in long days [working]," the actor said. "And to go home and have dinner with your kids, and have to discipline one of them who's out of line, and still have the energy for that is ... I can't explain the fulfilment of that, but it is everything."
Pitt told King that he wants more children with Jolie saying: "We're just getting started."
He described Jolie as "a fantastic mother". "Dedicated, kids first." "[She's] really inventive and great fun to them and very, very protective."
He and Jolie rarely argue, he said.
"No, not really. [We] challenge each other a lot. Have good fun with that."
Pitt was quick to put a stop to King's suggestion that the pair became involved while working together. (While Pitt was still married to ex-wife Jennifer Aniston)
"That came after, Larry. That came after," he said.
Pitt is planning on cutting back on his acting commitments in the coming years.
"It's become less and less a focus as I get older," he said in the interview. "I think it's really more of a younger man, younger woman's game."
