Academy Award-winner Sandra Bullock talks about taking a break from acting, being a mother, and her latest film, "The Lost City," in a wide-ranging interview with Tracy Smith for "CBS Sunday Morning," to be broadcast March 20 on CBS and streamed on Paramount+.
In the comedy "The Lost City," Bullock portrays a kidnapped romance writer who, along with her book's cover model (Channing Tatum), fights her way back to civilization.

Sandra Bullock: "I can be creative, I can be part of a community. But right now, work in front of the camera needs to take a pause."
Tracy Smith: "For how long?"
Bullock: "I don't know. I don't know. Until I don't feel like I feel now when I'm in front of a camera."
Smith: "Which is?"
Bullock: "I want to be at home. I'm not doing anyone any favors who's investing in a project if I'm saying, 'I just want to be at home.' 'Cause I was always running, I was always running to the next thing. I just want to be present and responsible for one thing."
Smith: "So, you knew shooting this movie …"
Bullock: "Yeah."
Smith: "This is gonna be the last one …"
Bullock: "Yeah."
Smith: "…for a while?"
Bullock: "Yeah. And I don't know what 'a while' is. I don't know what that is."
