To fully capitalize on Monday's depressive gloom, our media partner CNN is sharing a hilariously distasteful interview!

Jesse “How the hell did he ever land Sandra Bullock!?!?” James was on "Piers Morgan Tonight" – in his first prime time interview – and delved into his much-discussed break-up with Sandra Bullock, his life growing up and his new book, "American Outlaw."

He also talked about getting out of the "pretend" Hollywood life.

"I don't know how I survived in there as long as I did," James told Morgan. "You're cool, but the rest of those people? I just can't hang with them." He also implied Sandra Bullock was just acting in her acceptance speeches praising him:

"She said that same speech at four different awards shows. You saw two of them," said James. "What does she do for a living?"

Morgan: Movie star, actor.

James: Oh, ok, cool.

Morgan: You think it was an act?

James: I think people have to live in that world.

He also said that the A-List actress suspected something. "I think there was some suspicions, you know, which were right on her part," he tells Piers Morgan.

"But...it came out of left field. You know, she wasn't ready for it."

What does Bullock think of the book?

Here's the exchange about Bullock's take on the book:

MORGAN: Sandra is a pretty private person. How has she been about the book?

JAMES: I don't know. I don't really talk to her. So like I don't...

MORGAN: You don't talk to her at all?

JAMES: Nope.
