It goes without saying, but de Armas is not your typical "It Girl." The actress told Vanity Fair about Hollywood, it's "not my life, it's my reality." Although La La Land is, understandably, her home-base, at least for the time being, the Knives Out star refuses to let it get to her head. "I have great friends, and incredible things have happened for me here, but the lifestyle and the exposure and the constant business situations are not for me," she admitted.

Although de Armas loves her job, and feels incredibly grateful for all her success, the actress explains, "Acting is what I love to do, but I can't talk about it, not all the time." Despite her nonchalance about Hollywood, she also explains in the interview about how she got to where she is today, saying, "People ask 'How did you make this choice or that?' But there was only ever one choice at a time. I've never seen my life in two ways, the way I wanted it and plan B. There was only ever the way I wanted it."
