Scarlett Johansson says getting on stage reinvigorated her love of acting.
The 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' actress - who is expecting her first child with fiancé Romain Dauriac - felt "uninspired" by her work and lost her sense of "purpose" until she took on a role in the 2009 Broadway revival of 'A View from the Bridge'.
She admitted: "I was uninspired by my job for a period of time. I didn't really understand what the purpose of it was, other than to stay relevant, which is so not what it's about. But doing the play, I realised I could still own my own performance, that it was mine to present however I wanted to."
The 29-year-old beauty says she has always been competitive, and was so determined to land a role as Black Widow in the 'Avengers' series, she dyed her hair red ahead of a second meeting with director Jon Favreau.
She told the new edition of Vanity Fair magazine: "If you want something, you have to go for it.
"That's something I learned early on. I was really competitive at a young age."
And Scarlett also admitted she has no interest in social media.
She said: "All of it drives me crazy."

A post mortem examination into the death of Peaches Geldof has proved to be "inconclusive."
The 25-year-old TV personality was found dead at her home in Kent, South East England on Monday (07.04.14) and a post mortem was carried out today (09.04.14) at Darent Valley hospital in Dartford, Kent, by Dr Peter Graham Jerreat.
According to MailOnline, the family of the mother-of-two, the daughter of Bob Geldof and the late Paula Yates, will now have to wait for a toxicology report - including test results for drink and drugs - which could take up to several weeks.
Police have so far described her death as non-suspicious but "sudden and unexplained" and there were no drugs or suicide note found at the house.
Kent County Council said: "A decision on whether there needs to be an inquest depends upon the final results of the post mortem."
It has been reported that the alarm was raised by a "concerned relative" who called the emergency services at about 1.35pm.
Meanwhile, Peaches, who is survived by her husband Thomas Cohen and their sons Astala, 23 months, and Phaedra, 11 months, claimed she was "happier than ever" in her last magazine column.
The late star gushed about the joys of being a young mother in the pages of Mother & Baby magazine just weeks before her untimely death.
She wrote: "Other than work there was nothing stopping me from having constant fun. But it was becoming boring, I wanted an anchor. I craved it."

Samantha Harris is to undergo a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
The former 'Dancing with the Stars' co-host has revealed that having contracting the disease, she's decided to go under the knife next month to have her breasts removed to cure her of the illness.
Speaking to People magazine she said: "I was sick of feeling the way that I did in the days after the diagnosis. I knew I needed to take control."
The 40-year-old television personality first suspected there was something wrong when she felt a lump during a routine self-examination last year, and although nothing was detected during a prior mammogram she was still worried and decided to see a specialist.
A needle biopsy followed by a lumpectomy found that she had breast cancer, and she's admitted that at first she had no idea how she was going to cope.
She said: "I felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest."
However, after visiting three different specialists and being advised that her options were either to undergo a double mastectomy or a less-radical second lumpectomy with radiation treatment, she made her decision.
Samantha - who has daughters Josselyn, 6, and Hilary, 3, with her husband Michael Hess - admitted she then "felt so much calmer" after taking control of her treatment programme.
