Jessica Biel has admitted that she thinks she is "too boring" to be regarded as a great actress. The Illusionist star revealed that she considers herself too level-headed and balanced to be considered alongside the best actors. Biel told Vogue: "I might just be way too boring to ever be a really great actress."When she was told that great actresses are allowed to be boring while icons had to "kick up dust everywhere", the 27-year-old replied: "I don't do that. Maybe I should do a little bit more of that. A dust kicker-upper might be kind of fun!"

Biel also claimed that as she gets older, she has begun to feel more paternal towards her younger peers, adding: "I have this overwhelming motherly feeling toward them. Just do what you gotta do, girls! Hold it together!"
