Scarlett Johansson: 'I'm Not A Diva'.

Scarlett Johansson: 'I'm Not A Diva'....

Scarlett Johansson has denied she is prone to "diva-like" behaviour - and insists she lives a "modest and private lifestyle."

The 23-year-old actress has hit out at reports suggesting she is difficult to work with, claiming doesn't let her success go to her head.

She says, "I'm not (a diva). I live a very modest and private lifestyle. I'd never invite any of that kind of thing.

"Things get crazy with the media, but am I demanding or travel with a huge entourage? No! I'm not a terrible person to work with."

Meanwhile in other news the actress says she is determined to keep her wedding to actor Ryan Reynolds as "private as possible".

The pair announced their engagement in May (08) after dating for just over a year.

But the 23-year-old insists that when they do eventually walk down the aisle, they won't be selling their wedding pictures in a magazine deal - because she wants the ceremony to be away from the public eye.

She says, "(A big Hollywood wedding) sounds awful. Actually, I'm a private person, so, obviously, I'm pretty sure our wedding will be as private as possible."

Scarlett Johansson's acting struggle

Scarlett Johansson thinks acting is "harder for women".

The 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' actress - who stars alongside Penelope Cruz in Woody Allen's new film - believes succeeding in the "vain" movie industry is more difficult if you are female.

She said: "Acting is definitely harder for women. Women kind of wilt as men sort of achieve as they get older, like wine or whatever. It's like, 'Oh, she's past her prime and she can't play a sex symbol.' It's just a preconceived notion about women in general and particularly in this industry. It's a very vain, vain industry."

Scarlett - who released her debut solo album 'Anywhere I Lay My Head' earlier this year - also revealed her plans for the future.

She added to Britain's Hello! magazine: "I would love to do another album. It was fantastic to not only live with that music that I love every day but to work with such wonderful musicians. It's like a whole little creative commune we had.

"Right now, I would like to focus on developing something to direct. I have wanted to direct since I was 12. I remember making 'The Horse Whisperer' and thinking, 'I want that guy's job!'"
