Heather Graham would rather sleep than work.

The 40-year-old actress insists that she never worries if she has few movie projects lined up because it makes her happier if she is able to relax and spend time with her loved ones.

She said: "I definitely like not working sometimes. It's so fun. I just love sleeping in. In America, everyone is driven to succeed and wake up and do something. But I don't care. I want to sleep in. I want to relax. I don't want to have to get up everyday.

"It's funny. The longer I have been in the business, the more I realised how important it is to have other things in my life. Have normal, healthy people around me, not focusing on the business all the time, not always going to see every movie. just being really happy. I've been evaluating how much I value happiness in my life. To be too driven takes away your happiness."

Heather Graham has become a witch - and is casting spells on Barack Obama.

The 'Hangover' actress has started a coven with her friends and they sent the US President positive energies so he would get elected to the White House.

She said: "It's just for fun. We never jinx someone with evil spells. We meet in order to release positive energy. When one of us wishes to meet a great guy, we try to have an influence on that.

"We sent Barack Obama positive energies, so that he would become the next president. I always liked magic. Now when I see Obama's picture in the paper, I feel good."

As well as witchcraft, 39-year-old Heather also believes in reincarnation and doesn't think it is an outlandish idea to think people's spirits live on.

Heather Graham gave her co-stars food poisoning.

The blonde star invited a group of actresses who were also appearing in 2001 movie 'From Hell' to dinner one evening after filming, only for at least one of her guests to fall ill immediately afterwards.

Welsh actress Joanna Page revealed: "Heather Graham invited four British girls from the 'From Hell' cast over for a dinner party and she made a chicken salad but it gave me food poisoning. On the way home I had to stop the car and throw up."

'Gavin and Stacey' star Joanna also revealed she accidentally asked Hugh Grant to bring her a meal on the set of his hit movie 'Love Actually'.

She explained to FHM magazine: "I was very nervous on my first day on 'Love Actually'. My mum had told me to eat or else I'd faint so I kept going, 'I need some food.'

Co-starring Heather Graham and Kevin Spacey, a movie synopsis via IMDB tells: "Robert Axle, an eccentric inventor turned ego maniacal infomercial guru, loses it all when one of his inventions maims thousands of customers. After 8 years in maximum security prison, Axle is ready to redeem his name and rebuild his billion dollar empire. But first he must convince his estranged 22 year old daughter to let him live with her and her quirky, over protective roommates. This character driven comedy is a heart warming tale of how love, resilience and a little bit of creative genius can connect even the most disparate forces. "

Stepping out for a trip down the red carpet, Heather Graham was looking lovely as she attended the Spanish premiere of “The Hangover” in Barcelona, Spain on Tuesday (August 11).

Held at Aribau Cinema, the “Boogie Nights” babe joined co-star Bradley Cooper for their overseas press duties boosting interest in the Stateside hit comedy flick.

The film is “a Las Vegas-set comedy centered around three groomsmen who lose their about-to-be-wed buddy during their drunken misadventures, then must retrace their steps in order to find him.”

As for new projects on the way, Heather has a couple of films in the pipeline; “Son of Mourning” and “Father of Invention.”

Enjoying some downtime from her usually hectic schedule, Heather Graham was spotted out on the beach in Barcelona, Spain yesterday (August 9).

The “Boogie Nights” actress was the center of attention as she pranced around the sand and shore in red and white polka-dotted bikini.

And of course, Heather wasn’t alone in her fun in the sun- she is on holiday with her film director boyfriend Yaniv Raz.

Virginia Madsen has signed up to join Kevin Spacey in Father of Invention, the indie comedy about a billionaire inventor who loses everything, goes to jail and emerges to try to rebuild his life.

Spacey's the inventor, and Madsen plays his ex, who spends what's left of his fortune and remarries while he's languishing in prison (but also, y'know, becoming a better person and less of an egomaniacal git).

Camilla Belle, Craig Robinson and Heather Graham are also starring in the film, which Trent Cooper is directing. Filming's already started, so look out for this early next year, we're guessing.

The story follows a humble inventor-turned-egomaniacal billionaire (Spacey) who spends eight years in prison when one of his inventions goes awry. Upon release, he is seeks to rebuild his reputation and fortune but finds that easier than salvaging his relationship with his family.

Craig Robinson ("The Office") will play the husband of the former billionaire's ex-wife who now lives in his house and drives his car and helps Spacey get back on his feet after he gets out of prison.

Brazilian actress Camilla Belle ("Push") will play his daughter, a social worker hesitant to trust her father, while Graham ("The Hangover") is her lesbian roommate. Johnny Knoxville ("Killshot") will play a store manager who hires Spacey's character after his prison stint.

Production begins this week in New Orleans. Spacey is producing through his Trigger Street banner.
