Saying: &#8216;I&#8217;m in a nice relationship, I&#8217;m working a lot and, like I said, it&#8217;s not important to me.&#8217;

There have been times in my career where I&#8217;ve struggled to find &#8230; I was stuck for a while. It was more difficult, maybe, to find the right thing to do. Now I&#8217;m enjoying a really productive, creative period.&#8217;

No ring, no problem: The actress has revealed that she has no plans to settle down anytime soon
The Her actress currently splits her time between Romain&#8217;s home in his native Paris and her apartment in her hometown of New York.
Although she is one of the world&#8217;s most recognizable actresses she doesn&#8217;t let her fame stop her from living a normal life and Scarlett actively makes an effort to avoid having a showbiz lifestyle.
She explained: &#8216;Luckily, I&#8217;m relatively uninteresting. I&#8217;ve always tried, as much as possible, to keep the prying eye at arm&#8217;s length, which doesn&#8217;t always work in my favour &#8211; but I think if you establish that early on, you remain relatively unscathed.&#8217;
&#8216;As I get older, I realise what an incredible waste of time it is to scurry around like some kind of urchin. I want to enjoy things, like just walking around my city.&#8217;
