" Cosmo: Do you forsee a time when you might not act and just produce? Sandra: Absolutely. That&amp;#039;s kind of why I started my production company Fortis Films. My goal is to be comfortable in my own skin for the rest of my life. And I&amp;#039;m realistic about how long you can accomplish that in front of the camera. If I&amp;#039;m still comfortable being in my skin in front of the camera in several years, great. But otherwise, there&amp;#039;s producing. C: Do you ever get sick of the &amp;quot;Girl Next Door&amp;quot; title? S: I think I lost that title a little while ago. They give it to like six people, and we share the titles Girls Next Door and America&amp;#039;s Sweetheart. We literally have to call each other and see who wants it for that week. Like &amp;quot;I have to promote a film, so you have to give me the Sweetheart label or I&amp;#039;m not going to get any people in to see my movie. Julia, come on, do something racy. I need the title this week.&amp;quot; C: How did you like working with Hugh Grant in Two Weeks Notice? S: I adore him. He knows what works on camera. There are moments in films when I have stopped and said, &amp;quot;I want the guy to look at me like that. There are three actors who can pull that off: Billy Crystal, who did it in When Harry Met Sally; Andy Garcia, who does it any film he&amp;#039;s in; and Hugh. He&amp;#039;s the classic movie star\u2014smart, slightly tortured, fun, insane, witty, well-dressed, well-groomed. I, on the other hand, had things coming out of my hair by the end of the day. But in a way, that makes a nice combination. C: You two were falsely linked by the press, but why do you think so many people seem to fall for each other on set? S: It&amp;#039;s the greatest dating service on the planet. You take two people who normally can&amp;#039;t leave the house, who don&amp;#039;t know if people are with them for the right reasons, and they get paired up because they have chemistry, and they happen to fall in love. C: Do you think if a man and a woman have great chemistry, they can ever just be friends? S: I have a hard time being just friends. My feeling is, if youre both single and you&amp;#039;re not hurting anyone, do it, have a great time. But if you&amp;#039;re committed, walk away. You have to have a really good moral backbone. Don&amp;#039;t have conversations, just say, &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m really attracted to you, and it&amp;#039;s not easy for me, but I&amp;#039;m not going to have contact with you.&amp;quot; Movie sets are breeding grounds for that kind of stuff, so you just have to have a good set of rules going into it. C: When you were dating Mathew McConaughey, you told the press that the two of you were just friends, but you never added the word just because saying you were &amp;quot;just friends&amp;quot; wasn&amp;#039;t technically true since you were also dating. So are you friends with Ryan Gosling, your Murder By Numbers costar? S: Let me see if I can answer that politically and correctly. We&amp;#039;re friends. C: So if I were to add the word just\u2026 S: If you were to add the word just, it would probably be a bit of a lie. So I&amp;#039;d say were friends. [laughs] C: What have you learned from Ryan? S: To chill. I live my life at a manic pace, and he&amp;#039;s taught me to disregard all that isn&amp;#039;t important. He&amp;#039;s like a little Buddha. C: Do you feel pressure to get married and have kids? S: I&amp;#039;ve never thought I was in the right place to be the right partner. I couldn&amp;#039;t fill the list of things that I would demand from the other person, so how could I expect that from somebody else? C: So what&amp;#039;s on your list of criteria for a mate? S: I love people who are artistic, confident, and even cocky but with an underlying modesty that is humbling. They also have to have a wicked sense of humor, and I have to feel challenged. If somebody does not swat it right back to me, I&amp;#039;ll get bored. C: Is what you&amp;#039;re looking fror the same as what you&amp;#039;re actually compatible with? S: Absolutely not [laughs]! I haven&amp;#039;t always been easy to be in a relationship with, and I&amp;#039;ve ben the problem most of the time, I&amp;#039;ll admit that. I&amp;#039;m usually the loud one, and I don&amp;#039;t want another loud person. I like someone who the minute I get around them, I feel small. And that take a strong perso. I want someone who, if I need help, they don&amp;#039;t even ask, it just kind of happens. It&amp;#039;s satisfying when I can let go. C: You&amp;#039;ve stayed great friends with your ex, Matthew McConaughey. How do you make it work so well?  S: It&amp;#039;s the work we both put in. There&amp;#039;s a great amount of respect and love. I feel very cared for by Matthew. No matter where he is in his life or where I am in mine\u2014he could be married\u2014I know we would stay close. C: You have places in Los Angeles, New York City, and Austin, so where do you consider home? S: Definitely Austin. It just works for me. The people tend to be open-minded, and there&amp;#039;s a great artistic community of film and music. I need a place where I can go out in flip-flops and a pair of cutoff shorts to listen to music, but still have a city close by. C: Is it true that sex beyond the missionary position is illegal in Texas? S: If it is, then boy, am I in trouble. I should be jailed now. C: Where&amp;#039;s the wildest place you&amp;#039;ve ever had sex? S: In a cab. That was before I was famous, you just have to realize that for the rest of your life, sex is going to be in the bedroom. C: What&amp;#039;s the most fearless move you&amp;#039;ve ever made to get a guy&amp;#039;s attention? S: I once sent myself\u2014so pathetic\u2014five dozen roses and filled my hotel room with them, knowing that this person would be stopping by. It worked\u2026he asked me out. C: So what is something guys should know about women? S: Five to 10 extra minutes of sweet-talking or stroking of the hair will get you so much more. It&amp;#039;s that simple. C: Have you had any wacky fan mail? S: I once received a picture from this man who had gotten my fact tattooed on his inner thigh. Can you even imagine the aging process on that? I wonder which way I&amp;#039;m going to stretch. C: What&amp;#039;s the most fearless thing you&amp;#039;ve ever done? S: Honestly, anything that scares me, I end up doing immediately. Like I was afraid of being underwater, so I took up diving and then went on a shark dive. I sort of push the envelope. C: What does it mean to you to be named Cosmo&amp;#039;s Fun Fearless Female of the Year? S: Your magazine must have absolutely no idea what it&amp;#039;s talking about [laughs]. No, but in all seriousness, I feel like if I&amp;#039;m on the cover of this magazine, at least that gives everyone else a shot. I&amp;#039;m certainly not perfect, and that&amp;#039;s what kind of works for me. I think that&amp;#039;s maybe what&amp;#039;s fun and fearless about me.
