Sandra Bullock recently admitted in an interview with Parade magazine that she’s “difficult.” On screen, and even offscreen during interviews, Sandra seems like a female version of Golden Retriever. Friendly, sort of sloppy, kind of a loud mouth, the whole lot. Not so once the doors close, she says.

more Sandra after the hop…

“Listen, I know I’m not easy to deal with. I’m controlling, and I want everything orderly, and I need lists. My mind goes a mile a minute. I’m difficult on every single level. I’m aware that I can be annoying…I like to iron. Ironing is comfort. It’s control. I’m a nutty person who likes to make sure everything is in its place. I am a big ball of high energy and organization and structure. Don’t forget, I’m half-German.”

Sandra also admits that ironing was higher on her list than marriage. The actress didn’t see herself ever setting down.

“I didn’t grow up thinking, ‘I’m gonna get married and have someone take care of me. I always wanted to be happy, have a good time, work hard.”
