Sandra Bullock Filmography

• "Julia Roberts single-handedly opened the door to make women a viable commodity in this business. She wasn't the typical blonde. She was this strong woman with a great sense of humor. It helped the rest of us."
• "I'm sowing my oats...I don't want to get divorced six times. I want to do it (get married) once. I have always been so scared of marriage and people have always been trying to marry me off. It's sweet, but I haven't been a good enough lover yet."
• "I'm going to get really fat, then I'm going to complain about how fat I've got, then I have to go on a diet, then I'm going to complain about being on a diet. It's just a vicious cycle."
• "My favorite birthday meal was when a friend took me to the Kentucky Fried Chicken drive-through. We ate it all in the car, the extra crispy, the biscuits and the gravy. Then we hit the Dairy Queen. Going down, it was the best meal I've ever had."
• "I came to America from Germany when I was in my early teens and got my butt kicked big time in junior high."
• "I did not peak in high school as so many people feel they did, but I still don't think I'm peaking. I want to do that when I'm 50."
• About Ben Affleck, her partner in Forces of Nature: "Ben can be strong, macho and swashbuckling, which appeals to men, but he is also self-deprecating, sensitive and goofy, which really appeals to women. He's not all testosterone and muscle and preening."
• About working with Nicole Kidman in Practical Magic: "I eventually found out Nicole and I have nothing in common, but we got along so beautifully and the best thing was that we're not at all alike, but we enjoy each other for those very reasons. We love to sit down at a table with a bottle of wine, and have a great time, and talk about normal things, about boys, about kids, about clothes. It was very soothing."
• "I've been linked with Keanu Reeves. That was because months after we'd wrapped SPEED, I went to see his band play and went out with them afterwards. Then when I was shooting IN LOVE AND WAR, (co-star) Chris O'Donnell and I went dancing one night and the next day it was in all the papers that he and I were having a wild affair. I was also paired with (Dallas Cowboy quarterback) Troy Aikman simply because we'd met at some social function. I had to ask a friend which guy at the party he was. My love life is far more interesting in print than it is in reality."
• "Everyone told me to pass on Speed because it was a 'bus movie.'"
