Actress Sandra Bullock may be thought to be a little obsessive compulsive as she confesses, "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."
She tells parade.com, "Don't forget ... I'm half-German."
Though always ready with a sunny smile and a quip, she is equally quick to issue orders without being asked. "I am a big ball of high energy and organization and structure," she says.
Bullock may play adorable onscreen, but in real life, she is driven.
"Listen, I know I'm not easy to deal with," she says. "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." Then she adds, "I'm aware that I can be annoying."
Bullock's newest film, The Blind Side, due out Nov. 20, is based on a true story. Bullock, 45, plays Leigh Anne Tuohy, a flamboyant well-to-do Southerner who makes a life-changing decision to adopt a disadvantaged African-American boy who goes on to become a star football player.
