Following are some key quotes from Bullock's extensive interview and James' statement to People magazine in its edition, which hits news-stands on April 30.
Actress Sandra Bullock on Wednesday revealed that she had filed for divorce from husband Jesse James and told the world she had quietly adopted a baby boy three months ago.
Following are some key quotes from Bullock's extensive interview and James' statement to People magazine in its edition, which hits news-stands on April 30.
Jesse James on his broken marriage, "The decision to let my wife end our marriage and continue the adoption of Louis on her own has been the hardest...I ask that you please do not judge Sandy for the things I have done. She has done no wrong. She played no part in any of this. She has been an amazing wife, mother and best friend for the over six years we have been together."
Bullock on why the adoption was kept a secret during Hollywood''s awards season, "So, so many reasons. The biggest being that the outside world was a little crazy then. Photographers waiting outside 24*7. People everywhere. We didn''t want this to be in his life."
Bullock on her joy at being a mother for the first time: "If you had told me that this would happen, I would have thought you were insane. I never imagined I would say the words ''my son''.
Bullock on the baby's name (Louis Bardo Bullock): "It was one of the first names that came to mind. Louis Armstrong''s song What a Wonderful World kept playing in my head when I looked at him, so Louis just seemed to stick."
Bullock on balancing her career and motherhood; "All I know is that I want to be able to enjoy being a mom. Doing all the things moms get to do outside in the sun, in the world. The career will have to wait for a bit. I don''t want to step into that world until I can find what room I left my armor in."
Bullock on seeing a photograph of James wearing a Nazi cap: "The photo shocked me and left me sad. This is not the man I married. This was stupid, this was ignorant. Racism, anti-Semitism, sexism, homophobia and a boatload of other things have no place in my life. And the man I married felt the same.
Bullock describing her current relationship with James: "A different one. A bittersweet one. One of new understanding. One of forgiveness. One of support for his recovery. One that changed my life....The father I have known Jesse to be with all (his) kids is one that I hope Louis can experience one day."
