According to Contactmusic, the Oscar winner admitted that she is anxious about the solo flight she must take in order to earn her credentials.
She revealed: "I am [studying to become a pilot]. I don't sweat a lot, but when I fly my whole back is drenched. The concentration, the focus."
The star went on to say that the challenge has given her a greater sense of freedom, adding: "It is so wonderful. I just picked up my boyfriend in Las Vegas! He had a business meeting there, and I flew with my instructor and picked him up."
Fellow celebrities John Travolta, Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are also qualified pilots.
