Sandra Bullock has no blind side when it comes to how she wants to spend her time.
In fact, the Oscar winner said the upcoming Practical Magic 2—her first movie in four years and the long-awaited sequel to her and Nicole Kidman’s 1998 film—was only made possible because her kids Louis, 16, and Laila, 12, were “out of school” during production.
“I’m not going to sacrifice my time with my kids,” Sandra said during an April 16 panel at CNBC’s Changemakers Summit. “They’d be happy if I was gone, I would not.”
Plus, the 61-year-old noted the quality of the film would have been affected if she was away from her children for too long.
“I do not do my best work if my children are struggling or if they need something and I can’t facilitate it,” she continued. “I’m raising my children, not anybody else.”
But while Sandra admittedly has the “luxury” of building her work schedule around her kids, she recognized that “so many people don’t.”
