The 'Fifty Shades Darker' star refuses to use social media sites like Twitter and Instagram because she has "found power" in knowing that she doesn't need anyone to "truly understand" her.

She said: "I abstain from it and I don't feel the need to explain to the world who I am to anyone. If there's some sort of perception of me, then so be it. I am still figuring it out and I have found power in knowing that I don't need anybody to truly understand me. That is the last privacy I have really."

And the 27-year-old actress doesn't regret taking on the role of Anastasia Steele in the erotic film but admits it can be "frightening" being propelled to the dizzy heights of fame so quickly.

She explained to news.com.au: "Regrets, well, these films are juggernauts. Sometimes they can be frightening but I don't necessarily regret it, though at the same time, I don't always feel completely one hundred per cent positive. I get waves of fear and I get waves of insecurity, and I wonder what people are going to take from this."

Meanwhile, the brunette beauty previously admitted she feels "suffocated" by life sometimes.

She explained: "I still feel like I don't know what I'm doing. Like, I'm unsure of what my life will be like. I mean, I have such an obsession with making movies that I probably will always do that.

"But sometimes my life can feel so suffocating, and then it can feel so massive, like I don't have a handle on it at all, and I don't know where it's going or what I'm going to do. Right now, I'm known for making movies. And I wonder if that's it. I don't know. It doesn't feel like it to me."
