Actress Scarlett Johansson says she has bought the rights to several books in hopes of becoming a film director one day.
The 29-year-old BAFTA Award-winning actress said presently she is allured by different forms of art, reported Contactmusic.
"I want to get into directing and I will at some point. I already bought the rights to some books. I'm in a point at my life where I'm sure of my choices and I'm interested in so many different things. I love art and galleries and music," Johansson said.
Scarlett, who had also been a singer, formed an all-girl band entitled The One and Only Singles. The actress loved her group.
"I formed an all-girl band The One and Only Singles, it's something that I've always loved. I had so many different interests growing up, I used to go around Greenwich Village, back when it wasn't popular or cool, and just browse around in libraries and theatres, and then I started acting," she said.
"The only thing I regret is not having gone to college. The reason I live in New York, far from Hollywood, is because I need to feel a city around me," she added.
