Bullock: "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."
Bullock: "Human beings exist that have integrity, that know how to keep their mouth shut, that know the bigger picture, that don't sell out their friends."
Bullock: "I consider myself sort of like a pseudo lawyer. Like, I'm convinced I can solve every case and argue my way."
Bullock: "I need to know how the clock is made after you tell me what time it is. I want to know all the details so I can understand how it works."
Bullock: "I don't think we are the only planet that has life."
Bullock: "I think everything is going to be devastatingly sad - when the phone rings, I know somebody in my family's been hurt, somebody's going to die. I'm sure a therapist would go, 'That's not a good way to live,' but every time it's not that bad thing, I'm so thankful and appreciative."
Bullock: "Ironing is comfort. It's control. I'm a nutty person who likes to make sure everything is in its place."
Bullock: "No one has proof that I know of, that a higher power exists, yet a major portion of the world believes in it and relies on it in faith in trust, in what that is. Where is the science in that? And yet you have incredible belief in that."
Bullock: "I've made peace with the fact that the things that I thought were weaknesses or flaws were just me. I like them."
Bullock: "I was always incredibly driven and found it impossible to relax. I felt that if I slacked off for a minute to enjoy myself, then so many things would be missed."
Bullock: "I have friends and family that are filled with massive amounts of integrity. And it shouldn't be an oddity."
Bullock: "I don't like to fly. I've never been a good flyer. I have a lot of friends that have permanent nail marks in their arms... The moaning that comes from me when there is turbulence. It's awkward for everyone around."
Bullock: "Forensics I've always found absolutely fascinating. Anything to do with clues. And checking things out and solving."
Bullock: "I haven't always acted or reacted in a way that made me proud, but I didn't make that same mistake twice, and I think that's what I love about adversity is that it always reminds me of what's really valuable in life."
Bullock: "I like lists, I'm controlling, I like order. I'm difficult on every level."
Bullock: "I used to get out of bed sometimes and feel depressed and watched a lot of reruns on TV to get over it. I should have allowed myself to be a little more human and not worry about trying to be a superwoman."
Bullock: "Everything in large doses is gonna kill you. Even happiness."
Bullock: "Why is marriage the pinnacle for everyone? People get married for the wrong reasons. We need to start looking at different packages, whether it's living together, or being with six partners, or dedicating your life to taking care of flowers."
Bullock: "Racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, sexism, anything Nazi and a boatload of other things have no place in my life."
Bullock: "Every single second of every single day... I don't know if I feel like a bad mom, but at the end of the day I'm always plagued with, 'Did I do enough? Should I go in a different direction?'"
Bullock: "False expectations take away joy."
Bullock: "I think most of us are raised with preconceived notions of the choices we're supposed to make. We waste so much time making decisions based on someone else's idea of our happiness - what will make you a good citizen or a good wife or daughter or actress. Nobody says, 'Just be happy - go be a cobbler or go live with goats.'"
Bullock: "You don't have to give birth to someone to have a family. We're all family - an extended family."
