Although she puts pressure on herself to do well, the 30-year-old knows that failure isn’t the end of the world.

“I go between confidence and insecurity all the time. I think I won’t be able to do something, but I’ll do it anyway, because I know that failing isn’t that bad,” she told Psychologies magazine.

“With my job, if I mess up, no-one dies.”

Although she has enjoyed a glittering film career, Natalie insists that she has endured harsh criticism. However, she refuses to let any negativity get her down.

“I didn’t get down on myself. I’m the type of person who takes criticism as a challenge to push myself harder and aim higher,” she added.

Hot Kandy’s of Hollywood are in Flexisexuality

Hot Kandy Katy Perry kissed a girl and she liked it. Britney Spears kissed Madonna and the whole world liked it. And when Natalie Portman threw herself upon Mila Kunis in that exceedingly passionate scene in the Oscar-nominated movie Black Swan, audiences pushed pause and gaped. These occurrences seem to have become fairly commonplace too, as a new term has been coined for women like them who have no qualms in indulging in some spirited lip-play (and more) with those of the same sex and yet, refuse to be tied down by their sexual preferences. Make way for the flexisexual woman!

The term flexisexuality has been coined for the burgeoning number of straight women who flirt with bisexuality, but refuse to be bound by it. These women can also be termed heteroflexible, pansexual or queer — all pointing to the fact that they are keeping their options open. “It is all thanks to pop-culture!” points out student Nayanika Bhatt, “If Katy Perry can kiss a girl and make a hit song out of it, then why can’t the everyday-girl? I have girl pals who have kissed other girls just for the heck of it — they loved it too, no strangeness at all. And it was no big deal, they still have their boyfriends.”

Flexisexual women constantly alter which gender they are more attracted to. “And a large part of this can be attributed to the fact that we women now have the money and confidence to handle the consequences if we decide to have a mindless romp with someone of the same sex,” shrugs designer Deepika B, “While in the global context, women are doing it to explore their bodies, in India, when women display same-sex intimacy in public, it is merely to catch the attention of the men.
