The 26-year-old, who has previously been nominated for anOscar for her film An Education, said she sometimesstruggles in films because she is not fond of cameras,reported Daily Mirror.

"The closer a camera gets to me, the worse I am atacting, it completely throws me. The best moment of my careerto date was doing The Seagull on Broadway. It was a coupleof years ago, before all that stuff happened with AnEducation'.

"Nothing's topped it, the feeling of being on that stage.It's so immediate and so consuming in a way that film isn't.Film's so stop and start and that often makes me act badly.But on stage I'm blinded by the lights," Mulligan said.

However, the actress said she was very keen to win therole of eccentric Sissy in Steve McQueen's sex addiction movieShame.
