Kirsten on the couch

Kirsten Dunst has had her fair share of being strung along by men - not least Spider-Man. Now she's hoping a real-life hero will sweep her off her feet

How does it feel to be one of Hollywood's top leading ladies?

Kirsten Dunst: Well, I don't know about that but I do feel responsible for myself and my relationships around me. I think that what makes people respond to you in movies is what you carry with you; what you get from the people in your life. I don't feel some kind of responsibility to other people, only the people who really care about me.

How do you cope with the whole red carpet thing?

Kirsten Dunst: It's OK. The trick I think is not to take it too seriously. But at the end of the day, what girl doesn't like dressing up? It?s no different.

What is your favourite style of clothes?

Kirsten Dunst: I wear vintage a lot. I love wearing things from another era but reinventing them in a way for now. It's like kind of like giving birth to a new idea of how that piece was originally perceived and I love that.

Do you diet and work out?

Kirsten Dunst: I don't diet because I like my food too much. I try to work out. I swim sometimes but that's about it.

Do you watch yourself in your films?

Kirsten Dunst: It's very hard to watch a movie that you're in because it reminds you of a time, not even the times on set but just what you were going through in your life at that time. So it's hard to watch it and disconnect from that whole experience and plus you know what's going on in the movie so you can't really enjoy it in a fresh way.
