Scarlett Johansson's rise to fame came with sexy roles such as the teenage ingenue in Lost in Translation, but she tells The Wall Street Journal magazine, in its April issue that she is tired of being sexy.

'I don't want to be the ingenue anymore,' the 29-year-old says. 'It's nice to be glamorous, but I don't want to always be an object of desire. Because it doesn't last.'

Instead she hopes for a varied career, in which she can 'selfishly' juggle her film work with family life

It seems so stressful to not be able to spend time with your family because you're constantly chasing the tail of your own success,' she told the magazine.
