Bitter Experiences of Youth
Bullock reminisced about her tough times in New York when she worked as a waitress while seeking acting opportunities.

Reflection on Career Path
Bullock continued to reflect on her career choices, stating: "Every working actor thinks they might never work again, so you accept anything you get and try to make the best of it. The only time I acted consciously about my career path was when I said, 'I need to step away from romantic comedies' because I was under a lot of pressure because of them."
Female actors in the 80s and 90s faced many obstacles, and the MeToo movement empowered many of them to speak about their experiences and challenge the industry's wrongdoings. Other actresses have also shared their similar experiences, including Gina Rodriguez, who recalled being asked to wear tight clothing to see if she was suitable for magazine covers.
Now, Bullock reflects on her early experiences while starring in the sequel to the successful film "Practical Magic" alongside Nicole Kidman. She stated: "Now we have seen behind the scenes and know that everything is just smoke and mirrors. We can now have more control over our narrative and speak the truth, whereas in the past we really couldn't. In a strange way, I understand this situation better now."
