The 'Fargo' star believes she wouldn't be able to choose which movies she takes on without the money coming in from fashion and beauty campaigns.

She told the May issue of InStyle magazine: "If it weren't for fashion and beauty campaigns, I wouldn't have the finances to pick and choose my projects. Literally, it's the only industry that supports women in that way."

Meanwhile, the 33-year-old actress previously admitted she used to feel anxious when she wasn't working but has slowly and surely learned to deal with it.

She explained: "When I was younger, I actually felt anxious when I wasn't working. Then there was a moment where I was kind of sick of [acting]. But then it shifted for me and I re-loved it in a different way.

"I feel much more confident in myself [now], in life ... I don't stress as much now. I've grown more sensitive though. The older I get, the more sensitive I've become. I don't know why. I think it's that age where death is more around you ... I appreciate things more. I mean, I've always been very grateful, but I feel far more grounded than I did 10 years ago.

"I want to be able to do good work and I think the more that you're out there, it starts to take away from your artistry. I don't want to be a movie star who needs to live behind a big cape because I'm so in the public eye all the time."
