Divorce has made me a better person: Bullock

London: Actress Sandra Bullock says her divorce from husband Jesse James has helped her to be a better human being.

"It's made me a better person, I'm more patient and accommodating. I really appreciate where I am," she told E!News.

The actress split from husband Jesse James last year when she discovered just days after winning the best actress Oscar for her role in The Blind Side that he had cheated on her.

Bullock has faced a number of changes in her personal life in the past year and she also adopted son Louis in January 2010 and admitted she barely remembers last year's Oscar ceremony because she was exhausted as she came to terms with her new role as a mother, reports contactmusic.com.

"When I was presenting last time I'd only had like two hours [of sleep] and I don't remember anything. I remember none of it," said the actress.
