I agree with you Hannah, but AM is a very intelligent woman and what I don't get is that "sex life" and "conception" are both so very very private, well IMHO they are. Why would she even entertain answering?

I don't think it's a "lack of interview experience".
Don't underestimate the way some journalists can put you at ease and make it feel like you are talking to a friend in a pub. I have been a journalist long ago and I was amazed at what people would tell you when you were interviewing them without realising too much that you could print that. And these were people that were used to being interviewed. But once you are in a one on one conversation you tend to get caught up in the moment sometimes. So imagine how that would be with a very professional journalist who knows how to create those moments on purpose.

I have followed James for over 2 years now and he was newly wed then. And used to slip up often enough in those days. Being so full of his new marriage he would say stuff about his wife eventhough that was long after they vowed to keep their private lives out of the media and not answer questions about each other. It is only since Atonement that he got more and more careful. AM has not been interviewed as much as James and is an interesting actress, but she would be a lot less interesting for the tabloids if she wasn't married to James. So I can see how it would be a lot harder for her not to slip up about it as it is for James by now.

But we are only speculating, so yeah, maybe she really doesn't care and wont mind keeping the media updated about the process. But somehow to me that doesn't seem likely with the things they have said about wanting to stay out of the media and keep their private life private...

And who knows, she may not even have said that at all. I have no idea if that source is a trustable one. I almost only trust what I can see and hear them say themselves and even then I am aware of the fact that something can change meaning, depending on how you edit it.
