Actor Rooney Mara says she follows her instincts when it comes to selecting a project. The 35-year-old actor said that she chooses to listen to her gut when she is offered a script.

"I can't say how I choose roles, it's just a feeling or instinct about certain things. I am sure a lot of it is subconscious - choosing things you want to explore or get out of your system. I wouldn't say I could play any role - not well anyway," Mara told Hello Magazine.
