The upcoming January 2008 issue of W magazine sees two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank open up about love, box office busts, and how she stays in shape.

On her diet secrets: “This is my Aloe C, which I dissolve in water,” she says in the mag’s January issue. “Here’s my flax. This one’s for my immune system, and this one is my BrainWave — it’s great, like if I have a lot of lines to memorize. I just took my most important ones, which are my Oz Garcia Longevity Pak. I shoved them in my mouth right before I met you, which I actually shouldn’t do, because I choked on my vitamins once before.”

On her last three films being box-office hits:“It’s the business of a lottery, for lack of a better word. All you have control over is how hard you choose to work. ”

On studio heads that claim that movies with female leads are box-office duds: “I think it’s really naive to say, ‘Oh, a woman’s vehicle is not successful,’ because men’s movies have failed at the box office, too. Look, I don’t want to name names, but there’s been lots of movies starring men — with big names! — that didn’t do well.”

On how she stays in shape: “I have a really high metabolism. Exercise is also really important to me. I think it gives me more energy. I would rather sleep six hours and get an hour workout than sleep seven hours.”

On her boyfriend, former agent John Campisi: “Of course I’m in love. Or I wouldn’t be in this relationship for as long as I’ve been. He’s a great guy.”
