Despite being in the industry for over a decade now, Amber Heard still finds it difficult to strip off her sexpot image. Johnny Depp's wife still wants recognition for her talents, not only her looks.

In an interview with Indie Wire while promoting her new film, "When I Live My Life Over Again" opposite Christopher Walken, she said that she's just finding the voice to express her desire not to be sexualized in films.

"I've been in this business for 12 years or something and it's incredible frustrating to be able to just now be trusted or given roles like this because this industry's very hard on women," she said.

"Because you're constantly asked to choose between one of two archetypes: sexy or not."

And those two choices are limiting by themselves, as Amber Heard explained, "And within the 'not,' you perhaps can acquire for yourself a few different traits, but they're going to be severely limited. The story's not going to be about you."

"In the former, it's completely unfulfilling work to undergo and it's not fulfilling for an audience to watch. It's incredible frustrating that a system is in place where you have to choose one or the other. I should not have to choose to be taken seriously or to be beautiful."

In the movie, Johnny Depp's wife, Amber Heard, "plays as a struggling singer-songwriter who escapes to the Hamptons home of her dad - who is desperately struggling to chart his own musical comeback," said The Hollywood Reporter.

"The film turns a hilarious, sometimes-bittersweet lens on ambition and innocence, and the fraught terrain of the father-daughter relationship," the article added. "Oliver Platt, Ann Magnuson, Hamish Linklater, Henry Kelemen and Kelli Garner round out the cast."

Johnny Depp's wife, Amber Heard, made her debut in "Friday Night Lights" and got her break in the 2008 film, "Never Back Down," which grossed $41 million on the box-office.
