10 Questions for Susan Sarandon
(2 of 2)
You often play the role of a mother in films. Which of your mom roles best reflects how you parent in real life? —Andrea Cooper, Hartford, Conn.
There is a little bit of me in a lot of them. I had a lot to do with the creation of the mom in Stepmom. Some of the mistakes that she made, I have made. A lot of the details in Stepmom were things that came out of my relationship with my children. When I did Anywhere But Here, for instance, it was a nice way to practice learning to let go of my daughter. It is great to be able to make your mistakes on film—it is a lucky lifestyle.

Why do you support John Edwards? —Marie Seaton, Washington, D.C.
He is the most authentic character. I think it is a really good idea to see who has donated to campaigns. Edwards is the only candidate that hasn't taken money from lobbyists. He really is who he says he is. When there has been a crisis, he has been out there very clear and strong. I think he will fight [for the American people]. He is a fighter.
Who's your favorite co-star? —J.A. Flores, Manila, Philippines
Oh wow. That is a little bit like Sophie's Choice, isn't it? Certainly, Ralph Fiennes [who plays Bernard in her new movie]. Natalie Portman. Sean Penn. When you are working with someone that good they take you to another place. I also had a great time with Kevin Costner and Tim Robbins on Bull Durham, as you could probably tell [Laughs.].
