AceShowbiz - Dakota Johnson seems to feel the pressure of fame. The "Fifty Shades of Grey" actress admits in an interview for her cover story in Interview magazine's newest edition, "I still feel like I don't know what I'm doing. Like, I'm unsure of what my life will be like."
"I mean, I have such an obsession with making movies that I probably will always do that. But sometimes my life can feel so suffocating, and then it can feel so massive, like I don't have a handle on it at all, and I don't know where it's going or what I'm going to do," she explains. "Right now, I'm known for making movies. And I wonder if that's it. I don't know. It doesn't feel like it to me."
"It seems like the world is so fast to move its interest to someone else," she reveals what bothers her about showbiz industry. "When I think about filmmakers and actresses that I have admired my whole life, I've admired their entire body of work. I have admired what they began with and what they're doing now. And now I feel like there's such a weird pressure to find the new face. I don't get it at all. I want to see women evolve. I want to see a body of work. I want to see all of it."
The daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith also seems struggling to fit in. She says she "never really identified" with many of her schoolmates who also had famous parents growing up. "I have one friend who I'm very close with," she opens up, "my friend Riley Keough, whose mother is Lisa Marie Presley. But other than that, I don't have very many pals who are ... I don't know. I kind of stayed away from it all."
