Sandra Bullock: "I'm Difficult on Every Single Level"

Sandra Bullock is one high maintenance chick. Just ask her!
Belying her laid-back, girl-next-door persona onscreen, Bullock, 45, calls herself "controlling," "difficult on every level," and "not easy to deal with" in a new interview with Parade. "I want everything orderly and I need lists . . . I'm aware that I can be annoying."

And this controlling nature manifests itself in one of her favorite, er, hobbies:
"I like to iron," explains the star of The Blind Side. "Ironing is comfort. It's control. I'm a nutty person who likes to make sure everything is in its place."

Yet Bullock, who labels herself "a big ball of high energy and organization and structure" never had marriage in her master plan -- until she met her husband, TLC's Motorcyle Mania host Jesse James, whom she met at his bike shop to introduce him to her godson.
Immediately, she says, "Jesse tracked me down. I had no intention of going out with him. I said no for a month."

Of her three stepchildren with James, she coos "I seemed to have stepped in right when I needed to be there . . . If you don't have kids and animals, you don't truly know what real life is about."
Bullock married James, 40, in 2005.

31Sandra is a beautiful ,intelligent how any one could cheat on such a beautiful person is beyond me.
This woman is the biggest loser I have ever seen. She does not have children - step children are not her children - so her claim that people don't know what real life is unless they have them? She just put herself in that category. What about all the people who are unable to have children - many have no choice, are allergic to animals? She is a BEAST
Sandra is a class act. You don't constantly read trash about her like you do with other women in her business. Such as Paris, Britney, and Lohan
Good for Sandra and Jessie! Who knows what is best for the little girl except those closest to her? I would doubt that, as it was so well put by the little girls mother, that going for long periods of time between drug abuse would be construed as 'clean living'. Hopefully, the child will come first regardless of who the parties are.
That's stupid, I don't have kids or animals, and I have one of the fullest, most fun, enriched lives anyone could have! As a kid, had every animal you could imagine, definately enjoy my grownup life WITHOUT cleaning up animal poop and smelling stinky pet food. Hear all the trials and tribulations of my sister's and friends kids and at 51, we thank God we never had any, and most of them wish they had never had any too! I think people stressed out with kids and animals want everyone else to be miserable too; no thank you. Now, if you're a millionaire and can afford help and the best of everything like her, it would be different, now wouldn't it? But glad she found her niche, like we all have to. I found my happiness, and it does not have anything to do with kids or pets, it comes from within.
I seriously doubt she waited one month to go out with Jesse. I can see the hag now, stalking him.
Remember she is an actress. The beyotch is finally starting to look old and TIRED...

Sandra Bullock is a very good person. She doesn't seem as fake as most other celebrities. Neither does Jesse James. He's always very 'real', down to earth. For "Kat", she actually stated in the interview that her image is far from how she really is. Did you even bother to read the article?
Sandra is great - hey we all have our flaws, at least she is honest - I think her and Jesse are great together - You should know your facts before you talk trash about people...
Everyone please go see The Blind Side, her new movie. I read the book, and it is an amazing true story.
Sandra, I have a bunch of ironing I would be happy to let you borrow!
What a shock she is messed up. She married a man who was married to a porn star. What does that tell you? Her Hollywood image is far from "real life".
She is NOT a good actress. She's just like celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, and Brad Pitt.....seemingly lovely people, but can't act their way out of a paper bag. They are cast in movies for just being themselves, that's it. I've always gotten a "b!tchy" vibe off Sandra too.
She's a great actress and I don't think Sandra and Jesse really care what anyone thinks!!! It's their life not our's...
Difficult...and boring....what is so spectacular or interesting about this woman? Nada. So many of these delusional starlets/stars think that their very existence entitles them to special interest stories. snore snore snore. Do something interesting or useful, then get back to the general public.
I doubt he chased her for a month. Maybe two or three days tops.
Nothing new. Years ago people that worked with her said she was a b*tch.
