Jessica Biel: A Soul Mate Would Be "Groovy"

Her boyfriend of one year, Justin Timberlake, may not be quite ready for wedding bells, but luckily, Jessica Biel's not really feeling them either -- yet.

Still, "Those things can change. You know, the actual idea of signing those papers and doing all this stuff about it, I've never been someone who's like, 'I have to, have to, have to have it,'" she told Harper's Bazaar magazine. "But the idea of being with somebody I care about, who's my soul mate, that sounds groovy."

But the actress, who recently took up blogging, is definitely NOT ready for kids. "I think when you make a decision to have a family and children, everything else comes second," she said in the magazine's August issue. "But if I choose to have a family, I would hope to create a balance, because I don't want to lose my sense of identity, my career, and my independence. Why can't I have both? Why can't I have everything? So many women do it."

Being chased by paparazzi just makes it a wee bit more difficult, though. "It's terribly scary to be followed by men in cars with cameras," Jessica confessed. "It's terrifying, you know? They're breaking traffic laws and putting you and other people in danger ... It's not like I'm doing anything exciting -- going to the dry cleaners or to Whole Foods to shop for groceries."

Speaking of which, the svelte star is finding it a bit difficult not to gorge while in Columbia, SC, shooting her new flick, "Nailed," costarring Jake Gyllenhaal. "I really have to hold myself back because if I had my choice, I would eat fried green tomatoes and goat cheese all day, every day," she said. But "I am the shape that I am. I feel no shame in it, you know what I mean? My mother always made me feel just great the way I was."

We're pretty sure Justin agrees ...
