I was constantly feeling like a fish out of water, and I think it showed despite the fact that both films did very well. I think it made me realise that I was not meant to do those kinds of roles.”

I sleepwalked through those films, because I don’t know I didn’t enjoy it.” She added, “I don’t regret having done them at all, but I think I don’t see them as risks, I think they were some choices that I made that were indifferent. And I don’t think indifference is something I would like to live with.”
