Stating that her movie “offends a lot of people,” Scarlett Johansson added, “It doesn’t mean I’m not appreciative, of course, that people are fans or happy to see me. But I always say to people, ‘I’m not working.’ [And that means] I don’t want to be identified as being in this time and place with you. I’m doing my own thing.”

The Ghost in the Shell actress went on to say that she does not like to feel “self-conscious” in public, as she prefers to be in her own thoughts, which have nothing to do with other people.

Further speaking to the outlet, Scarlett Johansson mentioned that she is a very private person and values her close bond with her friends. “My family is very precious to me, as is their privacy. The anonymity of my children is very precious to me,” the Under the Skin actress stated.
