Beautiful Sandra Bullock: Being A Mom And Good Person Is More Important Than Beauty

Which seems to suggest that Bullock is a mom first, actress second. As for beauty - it's not really that important, at least not the kind Hollywood pushes. Sandra feels most beautiful in her role as mom, ET added.

"Real beauty is quiet. Especially in this town, it's just so hard not to say, 'Oh, I need to look like that.' No, be a good person, be a good mom, do a good job with the lunch, let someone cut in front of you who looks like they're in a bigger hurry. The people I find most beautiful are the ones who aren't trying."

But what's also encouraging about Bullock's nomination is her age; at 50, many women feel their beautiful days are behind them, and yet America's Sweetheart graces the cover better than women half her age. Perhaps that's because aging seems as unimportant to Sandra Bullock as her new "Most Beautiful" title.

"I was putting (Louis) to bed and told him that even when I'm old and gray and more wrinkly than I am now, I'll still love him and want to tuck him in. And he asked why I have wrinkles, and I said, 'Well, I hope some of them are from laughing so much.' And he touched my face and said, 'You're not old, you're just happy.'"
