Families who had the least and lost the most to Hurricane Katrina three years ago now occupy those homes. Make It Right is one year old and eight families have moved into new homes. It’s raised money for 86 of the 150 homes that Pitt hopes to build.

"We've got 150 promised. There are actually families here that are home for the holidays and it's really, really cool. And I'm telling you, this time next Year, you're going to see 100 homes here,” said Pitt.

“Our goal was affordability first, sustainability, safety of course was a big issue, and ascetics. (I’m glad) we could tackle all these things and this is the road to affordable housing you see right here."

Pitt and his partner, actress Angelina Jolie, organized the Make It Right effort to not only rebuild New Orleans but also to do it in an environmentally friendly way.

The couple call New Orleans their adopted hometown and own a home here. They sometimes come back to Springfield to visit PItt's parents, siblings and nieces and nephews.

In the interview, Pitt has some strong words for the paparazzi.

"Let me be very blunt: I hate them. I hate these people. I don't understand ... that they do that for a living."

Pitt said there should be laws against celebrity photographers who "climb over your walls wearing camouflage and calling out your kids' names as you're trying to take them to school."

Pitt said he doesn't like talking about Jolie and their six children.

"It seems to get cheapened somehow as it goes through the filters and the airwaves - and some things you just want to keep close to the chest,” he said.
