Interview from Entertainment TV (March 96)
This interview
gave Sandra Entertainment Television right after the Academy
Awards
ceremony, where she presented the award for Best Sound Effects Editing
(because "Speed"
received this award in 1995).
Jerry Penacoli
was the interviewer.
Jerry:
And I'm Jerry Penacoli, live at Maple Drive, Elton John's big bash
for the
AIDS Foundation here in Beverly Hills and I have with me
right
now, Sandra Bullock - live - and she's just finishing up one
little
interview over here, and here she is... Thank you.Sandra: Hi.
Jerry:
Sandra Bullock live.Sandra: Yes.
Jerry:
You just came from the ceremony...Sandra: Yes.
Jerry: How
was it? What was your favorite part?
Sandra:
Um... [pause] pretty much all of it. It had a really, um... what's
the
feeling? A very relaxed feeling... of just joy. People were
there
for the art and everything went back to, sort of, human
issues.
It's a very... I don't know, there's a really great vibe
there
and I don't know if it's because of what Quincy did as a
producer or just the films that were present this year. Everything
sort of
reflected... It seems like the industry is going back to a
more
human stance on things in a creative side and they... what I
love is
that they kept being in people who were responsible for
putting
the show together... And it was like, it was like a big...
It was
like a film crew... everyone's sort of showing who was
responsible for bringing such a great production together and...
it's
just great. I was so nervous, but then, you know, "Stomp" went
before
me and I was getting into "Stomp" [doing some funny dancing
moves],
you know, and then I actually had to go through a door,
then I
did know I was on. But...
Jerry:
Now, you look absolutely smashing. I mean, you really...
Sandra:
Oh, [??? can't be understood].Jerry: What're you wearing, first of all?
Sandra:
[cheerfully snooty] Well, my Cologne is... no...
Jerry:
That's what I was talking about, of course!
Sandra:
[more seriously] I'm wearing Calvin, Calvin Klein.
Jerry:
And what about the jewelry? That choker's really...
Sandra: The
jewelry is Martin Katz, it's an old... I think it's 1910. And,
um, I'm
not a big jewelry person, but this, this man seems to
come up
with these odd, beautiful, old pieces that... [laughs] cost
more
than my house.Jerry: Now, call me crazy...Sandra: Crazy.
Jerry:
... but has your hair grown tremendously?
Sandra: Yes,
my hair's finally grown out! Isn't that nice?
Jerry:
I mean, it's long!
Sandra:
I even cut off two inches just the other week. I've been all crazy.
Yeah,
yeah, it's grown out, thank goodness. Yeah.
Jerry:
So this really is one of the big hot tickets in town, isn't it?
Sandra:
Is it? I don't know.Jerry: I think it is.
Sandra:
It's the only one I was invited to, no. No, I don't know. I think,
it's
the one that, I think, meant the most to me because it's for -
obviously - a wonderful cause. I'm not a big party person, but if
you
gonna go, I'd rather go to something that has a good meaning
behind
it and, you know... I feel like it's okay to be here, it's
not a
profligate thing, you feel like doing some good while
you're... you know, having a beer and eating some pizza, so...
Jerry:
I think you'll be having a little more than that, probably.
Sandra:
[makes a dumb face] How do you know? Who's been talking? [looks at
the guy
who's accompanying her]
Jerry:
I've seen the menu, I've seen the menu.Sandra: [laughs]
Jerry:
Listen, enjoy it, Sandra.Sandra: I will, I will.
Jerry:
And thanks for stopping for talking to us.
Sandra: Have
yourself a good time.Jerry: Alright, thanks. See you.
Sandra: Bye.
Thank you.
Jerry:
Bye-bye. [to camera] Sandra Bullock, live. Back to you, guys.
