iVillage: What do you think of the fame game? Do you find the whole thing rather surreal and silly?
Brad: You know, I don't find it silly. I certainly have been drawn to people or events and emulated something, but it could easily go down the wrong road when it becomes obsession.

iVillage: What was your most real encounter with that?
Brad: Just when they break in your house [laughs]. I remember I was in Argentina and I was dating [Gwyneth] Paltrow at the time. We were fading off to sleep and in the room I see this figure. It was a little 14-year-old girl. She climbed over the wall and broke into the house through the upstairs window. That was pretty real.

iVillage: Do you have any regrets? You've said if you had a superpower it would be to turn back time.
Brad: I really don't. I say that about turning back time, but I don't really mean it.

iVillage: So you're completely happy?
Brad: I'm not completely happy, but I'm also a big believer that your mistakes define you as much as anything. It's there where you get real understanding of yourself. You can't have one without the other.
