Singer-actress Blake Lively thinks she has been "really terrible" in some of her movies.
The 27-year-old actress said she always likes to "push" herself in her work but said sometimes the challenges don't pay off, reported Contactmusic.
"I always want to challenge and stimulate myself. Sometimes I'll see one of my movies and think, 'I was really terrible in that' because I pushed myself to do something that I actually couldn't do.
"And then I'll see other movies and say, 'Wow I really managed to pull that off and I'm so proud because that was a stretch for me," she said.
The "Age of Adaline" star - who has four-month-old daughter James with husband Ryan Reynolds - thinks she is at a great point in her career right now because she has so many roles open to her.
"For me, every year I've grown older has been exciting because there are more opportunities and more roles. There were roles I was reading when I was in my early 20s that were mothers and I thought, 'Oh this character is so complex' and it's amazing, but I couldn't do it. So, I'm at an age where I can play some of the younger women and some older ones.
