Sandra Bullock: 'I Like to Iron. It's Control'

Sandra Bullock doesn't seem like a typical celebrity -- she does her own ironing, and even likes it! And we thought that's what assistants were for.

The star admits her hobby isn't really about using spray starch and revving up her iron, though; it's a control thing. She told Parade (via Us magazine) she's a "high ball of energy and organization and structure," and wants everything to be neat and tidy. We wonder if her 3 step-kids find her as amusing as we do.

Even though the actress is a self-admitted stickler, it also seems like she breaks her own rules every once in a while. She said that's how she ended up marrying Jesse James in 2005.

She told the magazine she didn't plan on getting married until she met him. Then he basically ruined everything. "Jesse tracked me down," she said. "I had no intention of going out with him. I said no for a month."

She eventually gave in, obviously, and it looks like she made the right choice. "I seemed to have stepped in right when I needed to be there," she said. "If you don't have kids and animals, you don't truly know what real life is about."
