Susan Sarandon has vowed to quit America with her longterm partner Tim Robbins if Republican John McCain wins November’s presidential election.

The actress is rooting for Democrat contender Barack Obama, and is packing her bags in case he or party rival Hillary Clinton don’t replace George W. Bush in the White House.

She says, “It’s a critical time, but I have faith in the American people.”

Sarandon also defends her support of Obama as opposed to Clinton, telling the New York Post, “I thought the whole point of feminism is that you’re not supposed to be defined by gender. I don’t understand the reasoning behind that, because I wouldn’t vote for (U.S. Secretary of State) Condoleezza Rice, and I hated (former British prime minister) Margaret Thatcher.”

Susan Sarandon has warned off actresses from dating directors – because on-set flings end in disaster.

The Thelma & Louise star embarked on a romance with French director Louis Malle while they were making 1978 film Pretty Baby together.

But Sarandon insists the relationship was doomed from the start, because the power balance between them was too difficult to redefine once the film had wrapped.

She explains, “That was a life lesson, for sure. Louis was 14 years older than me and very sophisticated, and I learned a lot during our relationship. The problem was that if you start to sleep with the director when you’re making a film, then the dynamic is very hard to change.

She adds, “You’re there to make his world happen for him, and that continues after the film is over, too – so when my world started to intrude on his, it didn’t go down particularly well.”

“When I’m choosing a film, I think, ‘Can I talk about this film at a junket for four days?’

“That’s how I choose.” Susan Sarandon reveals about her script selection process.

I guess that’s one way of doing things. If she gets bored with a script, how can she sell it to other people.

Susan Sarandon is speaking out about her former The Client coworker, Brad Renfro.

She says:

“I had the pleasure of working with Brad when he was eleven in The Client. It was obvious to everyone that he was the sweetest, most incredibly gifted young actor to come along for some time. My heart goes out to the family for their tragic loss.”

The coroner has the autopsy scheduled for today to determine how Renfro died.
