On the “Madame Web” reviews
Johnson told the network that she felt decisions for the “Madame Web” film were made by a “committee.”
“Art doesn’t thrive when it’s made by committee,” she said. “Films are made by a filmmaker and a team of artists around him. You can’t make art based on numbers and algorithms.”

“I had never done anything like this before. “I’ll probably never do anything like that again because I don’t make sense in this world,” she said.
About motherhood and keeping her private life private
While discussing another of her recent films, Daddio, the actress opened up about her feelings on motherhood, saying she was “so open” to the idea.

“We're not here much longer, so if I'm going to be a mother, bring it on,” she said.
Johnson also briefly commented on the bond she shares with her longtime partner Chris Martin's children.
“I love these kids like my life depends on them. With all my heart,” she said.
As for her privacy, Johnson said she understands the publicity part of being a famous actress, but believes there is a “time and place” for that part of the job.
“For what I do, there is a fixed time and place where I will be photographed. That’s part of my job,” she said. “But being photographed when I don’t know I’m being photographed and it’s a private moment? This feels like the most invasive, hurtful, horrible thing. People say that's the price you pay for being famous, but I don't.” I don't think that's necessarily true.
