During interview with AS IF Magazine, Johansson offered a choice quote in this story. She defended herself for picking controversial roles like Ghost in the Shell and Rub & Tug. She said:

“You know, as an actor I should be allowed to play any person, or any tree, or any animal because that is my job and the requirements of my job. I feel like it’s a trend in my business and it needs to happen for various social reasons. Yet there are times it does get uncomfortable when it affects the art because I feel art should be free of restrictions. I think society would be more connected if we just allowed others to have their own feelings and not expect everyone to feel the way we do “
