Juliette and Brad (via Showbiz.sky.com) Juliette Lewis is impressed with former boyfriend Brad Pitt’s parenting skills and is amazed he manages to raise six children with his partner Angelina Jolie. Juliette, who split from the actor in the early '90s, said: "When I run into him it's like running into an old comrade. Good vibes. He's grown into a fine man and father. Total super father. It's pretty impressive. Their family unit is inspiring.”

Although she thinks Brad’s family is wonderful, the 38-year-old actress, who has mostly been single since her divorce from skateboarder Steve Berra in 2005, doesn’t plan to be a mother until she settles down again, because she doesn’t want to raise children on her own. She explained: "At this point I don't envision having children by myself."

Juliette has instead been focusing on her career and enjoyed her hands-on role as a roller-skating racer in upcoming comedy Whip It, directed by Drew Barrymore.

She said: “Learning to skate, roller derby style, was a challenging task. But we all became bad a**es comparing bruises. Drew had one about eight inches long and five inches wide on the hip. I got some hip knots and a scraped chin, but thankfully no busted teeth. Bruises and scrapes are cool, busted teeth -- not cool!”
