Charlize Theron finds it easy to bare it all on screen. The actress found it harder to convey her character's emotion in new movie "The Burning Plain" - in which she plays a self-abusing, sex addicted mother - than take her clothes off.

She said: "Being naked is one of those things I think people think of in an isolated, compartmentalized way, but sometimes it's harder to do a scene where you have to bear a raw emotion of pain or vulnerability."

"That kind of nakedness is sometimes much harder than taking your clothes off."

Oscar winner Charlize, who co-produced "The Burning Plain," also revealed she never thought she would ever step behind the camera on her films.

The 33-year-old star added: "If you' asked me ten years ago if I would produce, I probably would have said, 'You're crazy.' But it's become one of those things that the older I've gotten and the more I've done this, the more I realise I love film making."

"It's not the idea of playing a role and showing up and just acting and doing my thing, it's the collaborative aspect of it that I really love."
