“Action movies really entail sitting in a trailer all day and not doing anything. You get there at six in the morning, you get all dressed up, put your make-up on and it seeps into your pores all day long and it's really boring.

"I always have a lot of action in these films, and I don't like it. Everything that you see in the great action clips take weeks and months, each moment takes a day. It involves screaming, cars, heights, and it's very technical and complicated." she said.

The 25-year-old actress, who recently had her first directorial experience shooting short film 'Welcome' found it strange being on the other side of the camera.

"You think you have control over everything, but you really don't. You really have to have a strong presence and be the leader, but there are always things that come up that are so unexpected, so you really have to roll with the punches." Kirsten said.

Kirsten directed 'Welcome', a modern day ghost story starring Winona Ryder, for America's Glamour magazine's 'Reel Moments'.
