Hilary Swank tells W magazine what she thinks of her last three films being box office busts: “It’s the business of a lottery, for lack of a better word. All you have control over is how hard you choose to work. After that, you do your press, and then you let it go. Of course you want something you’ve given birth to to do well. But why sit there and lament over what you don’t have control over?”

Following are other comments from Hilary Swank’s interview found in the January issue of W:

ON BEING IN LOVE WITH HER BOYFRIEND, FORMER AGENT JOHN CAMPISI…

“Of course I’m in love. Or I wouldn’t be in this relationship for as long as I’ve been. He’s a great guy.”

ON THE 45 SUPPLEMENTS SHE TAKES EVERYDAY IN ADDITION TO HER VITAMIN INJECTIONS…

“This is my Aloe C, which I dissolve in water. Here’s my flax. This one’s for my immune system, and this one is my BrainWave—it’s great, like if I have a lot of lines to memorize. I just took my most important ones, which are my Oz Garcia Longevity Pak. I shoved them in my mouth right before I met you, which I actually shouldn’t do, because I choked on my vitamins once before.”

ON JEFF ROBINOV’S, THE PRESIDENT OF PRODUCTION AT WARNER BROS., ALLEGED CLAIM THAT THEY WILL NO LONGER BE DOING MOVIES WITH FEMALE LEADS DUE TO RECENT BOX OFFICE DUDS…

“Who knows if Jeff really said that or not. I think that’s still up for debate. He says he didn’t say it, and I know that people attribute things to me that I didn’t say. But speaking in general, I think it’s really naive to say, ‘Oh, a woman’s vehicle is not successful,’ because men’s movies have failed at the box office too. Look, I don’t want to name names, but there’s been lots of movies starring men—with big names!—that didn’t do well.”

ON WHY SHE LEFT NEW YORK CITY…

“I looked and looked and looked for a place in New York. I just didn’t find anything. Prices have just skyrocketed!”

ON HER METABOLISM…

“I have a really high metabolism. Exercise is also really important to me. I think it gives me more energy. I would rather sleep six hours and get an hour workout than sleep seven hours.”

ON HER CRAZY SCHEDULE…

“In the past four and a half weeks, I’ve been to London, Texas, Chicago, China, New York, L.A. and New York again. You know, it’s tiring, but I can’t complain, because I’m getting to do what I love.”

Thanks Emily

She looks great, I just love this dress.

I don’t typically think she’s pretty…but it’s amazing what a professional photographer can do!

Actress Hilary Swank blames her deprived childhood for her worst habit – stealing shampoo from plush hotels.

The Million Dollar Baby star admits growing up on a trailer park in Washington State has encouraged her to be thrifty in adulthood. She says, “I find it really difficult to walk away from hotels and not take the little shampoos they give you. Because I travel so much, I have cupboards full of the little free shampoos.

“It’s probably my worst habit. It’s disgusting. I’m like ‘Hilary, walk away from the shampoo.’”

I don’t think this is so awful? I take the shampoo bottles from the hotels I stay in. Is that so weird? You pay for it – you might as well take it! I save them up for camping trips/whatnot.

Is it so wrong to take the shampoo bottles from your hotel?

HILARY Swank has signed on to star in another Oscar vehicle: a biopic about Amelia Earhart. The star was at a party in her honor for her Guerlain fragrance, My Insolence, at the Bel Air Hotel when her manager and agents had to leave to take urgent calls about the deal. Swank announced to the crowd, “If this is what it takes for my team to get me my next gig, then let’s hope that Guerlain takes us all to lunch every week.” She signed the next day to play the doomed pilot, who vanished over the Pacific in 1937 while trying to fly around the world solo.
