There's no denying that Sandra Bullock is an incredibly strong, self-sufficient, and all-around glorious woman. And she has her mom to thank for all that.

During an interview with
Express, Sandra opened up about her swift divorce from former husband and dirty love-rat Jesse James in 201. She explained:
"My mother raised me not to depend on a man for anything. I may have taken that to extremes."
She then confessed that she used to put immense pressure on herself to succeed, before realizing that wasn't really the way to live life:
"I was afraid of being a failure, of not having the best time or of being chicken. But every year I get older I think, 'What was I fearing last year?' You forget. And then you move on.
I used to get out of bed sometimes and feel depressed and watched a lot of reruns on TV to get over it. I should have allowed myself to be a little more human and not worry about trying to be a superwoman."
