Sandra Bullock has been America’s sweetheart with lovable romances like While You Were Sleeping and Miss Congeniality. Now she reveals that it’s all an act. “I’m a good actress,” she said. “That’s why you know me as likable.”

In her new movie, The Proposal, Bullock plays a harsh boss, Devil Wears Prada style. That, she says, is closer to the real Sandra. “I am a bitch. I am a horrible, evil bitch but I’m a good actress and I can act like a really sweet person. Everyone has it in them. It’s such a joy to be able to play someone who is angry. It’s a joy and a relief. Having to be nice all the time is exhausting and boring, but to play someone who just has that under layer of unhappiness, you know that it comes from someplace. There’s a crack in the veneer.”

Since marrying Jesse James in 2005, Sandra Bullock says she’s had to loosen up and let him dote on her a little.

“I’ve had to learn a hard lesson in that I’m not allowed to open car doors anymore,” Bullock, 44, tells Harper’s Bazaar in its June issue. “It was so hard for me to allow someone to take care of me. It’s not because I can’t take care of myself. But Jesse was like, ‘Just let me do this.’ ”

Another satisfying aspect of married life for the actress, who stars in the new movie The Propsal: Being a stepmom to James’ three children, son Jesse Jr., 11, and daughters Chandler, 14, and Sunny, 5 – from two previous marriages.

“You don’t have to give birth to someone to have a family,” Bullock says. “I’m not going to spend two seconds of my life wishing I had something I don’t … I just want people to admit that there’s no one way to live your life.”

Feeling comfortable with her family and career has allowed Bullock to actually experience a sense of independence she has never before felt. “I didn’t have a teenage or early-’20s experience that was free and without worry,” she says. “I missed the screw-everything, have-a-good-time phase.”

Adds Bullock: “I was worried that if I didn’t stay on track and work, work, work, I was never going to accomplish anything. Now I’m trying to have fun and have the freedom to do nothing.”

Here’s the trailer for her new movie!

Sandra Bullock’s no cookie-cutter beauty. “Welcome to my broken nose!” she tells InStyle. “My mother looked like a combination of Jackie O and Maria Callas. She always said ‘Be original.’” Bullock follows this maternal advice in every area of her life, from her happy marriage to motorcycle mechanic Jesse James to her Texas home base to her offbeat professional projects, like this month’s All About Steve. While Bullock’s always a stunner on the red carpet, as far as she’s concerned, “I feel sexiest when the person I love wakes up next to me and looks at me with love even if my hair looks like the dogs have been chewing on it.” Spoken like a true original.
