Sandra Bullock

Everything works out the way the universe wants it to work out.

I hated my whole childhood, hated it, hated it, hated it. There was no place for me.

I've lived next door to people all my life. I don't know how cute they think I am.

I love fashion. I love couture. I'm going to erect a shelf in my bedroom with an art light to be the spot for the shoes of the month.

In our film business, they say it's recession-proof, but there's no such thing. I think what it's done is there's been an increase in demand for high-quality product. If you understand the business side of it, there's a way to balance it.

I know when I'm getting ready to mess up, I'm going to do it full-on.

No one has ever bought me underwear, and I'm a little bummed about that. Maybe it's not such a big deal any more.

Composing means you have a beginning, middle and end and a fluidity to what you're doing.

If I die tomorrow, will I have gotten everything in the world I've ever wanted? No. But I will have gotten everything that's made me happiest.

I've never been a blind romantic.

Don't corral me, and I'll always come home. Just let me go out and play during the day.

If a studio sees that a female can bring in audiences, then they're going to make movies with that person.

My first review for the TV movie The Bionic Showdown said I was as interesting as a bus ride.

Once a waitress, always a waitress.

Paparazzi need more flattering lenses.

I would say if you are going to party, show up on time to work.

I always said if it gets to a point where I really want a child, I would adopt; kids are amazing, so I'm getting the selfish stuff out of my system so when I have them I can say, 'Go, run. I have plenty of money, go play.'

Nobody can make me cry in public. I'll punch them first before they make my mascara smear.

I can't selfishly take journeys anymore because I have to take a little boy along with me.

A sequel is such a daunting thing, because you don't want to lose the magic and the charm of the first one.
