Julia Roberts’ third movie with director Garry Marshall – following ”Pretty Woman” and ”Runaway Bride” – is, well, 2010′s ultimate ‘chick flick’. Valentine’s Day, also featuring the likes of Bradley Cooper, Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, Taylor Lautner, Taylor Swift and Shirley MacLaine, examines the various ways an interconnected group of Americans spend Feb 14. Moviehole caught up with Julia Roberts at the film’s star-studded L.A junket.

A big theme of this film is that the right person for you could be your best friend that’s been there all along. Julia, was there a moment you realized you had a friendship that became more?

Garry just said he and I didn’t get married, even though we are best friends.

Julia, how do you find time for romance with kids at home?

My kids go to bed at 7:30.

How will you celebrate Valentine’s Day this year?

For Valentine’s Day, we’re just gonna be makin’ out for the full 24 hours.

What’s the key to a successful relationship, especially in L.A.?

I think it’s the same in any city. L.A. isn’t distinctive in its uniqueness to what makes a relationship work. Two people who work at it, in any town you go to, is what works.

It seems like love and the pursuit of it is what everyone wants. It’s like a drug. People want to be happy and that’s really the only thing that makes us happy. Do you think that’s the case?

It is a drug though, isn’t it? Love and that feeling, and what it does to make us all tingly inside, is a drug.

Can you talk about shooting the sequences in the plane and what it was like to work in such a confined space?

We caught up. We hadn’t seen each other for awhile and I grilled him pretty good.

How did it feel to be reunited, all these years after ”Pretty Woman”?

We had a lot of Pretty Woman people on the set. Our D.P., Chuck Minsky, shot Pretty Woman, and our prop department was the same. We laughed about a lot of things, particularly how old we’ve all gotten in 20 years. In fact, we’re 20 years older, in 20 years. We seem to do this every 10 years. We did Pretty Woman, and then, 10 years later, we did Runaway Bride, and then, 10 years later we did Valentine’s Day. So, I will see all of you again when I’m 51.

Will ever see a ”Pretty Woman 2”? Or is that out of the question?

I don’t think anyone wants to see an old hooker.

Valentine’s Day opens on Feb 12
