JESSICA Alba admits her previous film choices have been motivated by money.

The actress — who has starred in Fantastic Four, Never Been Kissed and Sin City — says she only took on movie roles that paid well, but she is now changing her outlook.

“When I took the time off I decided that if I’m going to do this for a living it has to be good filmmakers, good characters and doing stuff that I’m not always comfortable with,” she said.

“I want to do stuff I’m afraid of doing, because I felt like my choices previously were motivated by commerce. I was doing what I could to create a base with an audience, in each territory, that would help me stay relevant.”

Alba recently admitted that the best thing about being famous is, “making lots of money has made me happy.”

“No one else helped me — I’ve done this all by my self, on my own terms,” she said earlier this year.

“My dad’s also turned his real-estate business around and doing really well, and my brother acts, models and does mortgages, so we’ve all come up in the world. Anyone out there who gets bullied should realize that they can take control of their lives and succeed.”
