Sandra Bullock's Urge to Take Risks  3/21/05

Hollywood actress Sandra Bullock is only interested in risky film parts after becoming disillusioned with the romantic comedy roles she is normally associated with.

The 40-year-old refuses to live in a comfort zone and is relishing the prospect of challenging herself with roles audiences wouldn't normally associate her with.

She says, "I don't do anything anymore that feels safe.

"If it doesn't scare the crap out of you, then you're not doing the right thing.

"The hardest thing is the comedy, if it doesn't work, it's painfully obvious."

She would love to make more comedy movies, however, but she doesn't want to be dependant on a male lead.

She continues, "Name a comedy that's not a romantic comedy that a woman has been in in the past 10 or 15 years. It's hard. It's really, really hard. "
