Actress Dakota Johnson entered the movie industry along with Jamie Doran in the film adaptation of the E.L. James novel "Fifty Shades of Grey." She is now shooting for the second film in the anticipated trilogy. However, the daughter of actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith said she is not too sure what will happen to her in the future.

She had a few candid moments in the cover story of the May issue of Interview magazine.

"I still feel like I don't know what I'm doing," Johnson said. "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," she continued.

Although she was born into Hollywood stars, she acknowledged that her childhood had been "very normal". A number of friends, though, had family in the business, yet she did not consider entering it all the time.

"I guess. I don't know," Johnson replied when asked if it was a big deal to grow up with famous parents. "The kids that I grew up around... but I never really identified with any of them. I have one friend who I'm very close with, my friend Riley Keough, whose mother is Lisa Marie Presley. But other than that, I don't have very many pals who are... I don't know. I kind of stayed away from it all."

The following two installments of the "Fifty Shades" series, "Fifty Shades Darker" and "Fifty Shades Freed," for which she is working, is on her mind.

Has her father got a shot at her performing various sex scenes in the first film?

"No! God, no. Thank God," she exclaimed. However, she also said that though the scenes seem to be real in the film, she is not actually enacting any of them.

"We're not having actual sex," she noted. "But I've been simulating sex for seven hours straight right now, and I'm over it."
