| Sandra Bullock |
Sandra Bullock treads her own path in life, ignoring the standard A-list script: but with her marriage to a Hollywood biker boy and a new-found talent for serious drama, she tells Jenny Tucker why she wouldn't have it any other way.
Why did you take a long break from acting?
I was really burned out. I always apply myself 100 per cent to whatever I do and that means I often end up exhausted. But I don't depend on my acting career to make me happy. When I stopped acting, I restored an old building in New York City, plus I've got my own production company. The script for Crash was so beautifully written, though, I really wanted to do it.
You're not one for the Hollywood scene, are you?
If you're working hard, you don't have time to party. I love having fun, but I don't want to be captured on camera doing it. And nine times out of ten, I don't look that great. I try to live my life so that I can go to the grocery store and not be snapped while doing it.
Do you go to the Oscars?
The Academy Awards are amazing, but my films don't generally go to the Oscars. I've been a few times, but only on Crash was I involved with a winner. That was wonderful.
So… how are you finding married life? [Sandra's husband is Jesse James, a descendant of that cowboy, presenter of Discovery Channel's Monster Garage and owner of a customised bike shop.]
Well… it's fine. Do we have to talk about this?
You once said that marriage was like a death sentence. Obviously your perception has changed.
My perception hasn't changed, but I got lucky. I'm still very sceptical about relationships, but before Jesse nothing challenged that opinion. [My marriage] might not be conventional, but it's right for me. I don't care if we're not seen as a cool couple. I'm happy. |
