Sandra Bullock: Why I Returned to Acting After Split
Originally posted 12/27/2011 05:20PM
Sandra Bullock says that after her 2010 split from husband Jesse James she wondered if she still wanted to rush back into acting again.
"I was perfectly content to be permanently broken," Bullock, 47, tells the Associated Press – then explains that by "broken," she means a break from work.
She adds: "I honestly didn't think I was in a place where I wanted to work or wanted to step out of where I was. ... I wasn't prepared. But the opportunity was louder than my head."
It was director Stephen Daldry's lobbying for her to appear in Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close that convinced the Oscar winner to return to movies.

"I kept going back and forth in my mind as to what the best way would be for me to release and let go of any residual feelings remaining from that toxic relationship."
James, 42, had acknowledged to PEOPLE that he had "poor judgment" in response to allegations he was unfaithful during his marriage to Sandra Bullock.

Another month – and another breakup for Jesse James and Kat Von D.
"I am not in a relationship," the tattoo artist said in a post on her Facebook page on Saturday. "And I apologize for all the 'back and forth' if it's caused any confusion."
The couple, who had been planning a summer wedding, called off their engagement in July. A month later, Von D's reality show L.A. Ink was canceled. Despite the setback, she was on a personal high because the engagement was back on.
So what went wrong this time? "It was clear to me that we were just on two different paths in life," Von D tells PEOPLE. "My friend put it best when he said I could never be more deserving of total, noble love. And as a woman, I think it's important to know your value and never lose sight of that."
