Diane Kruger is clarifying her recent comments. ET's Will Marfuggi spoke to the 45-year-old actress, weeks after she told that she «felt like meat» when she was testing for her role in , and she further explained her experience auditioning for the 2004 flick.«A lot of things get taken out of context.

Those words actually never came out of my mouth,» Kruger told ET of her comments, before clarifying how that testing process made her feel.«It was a moment very early on in my career where I was a nobody, hadn't done anything,» she said. «Being put in a position that made me feel uncomfortable, just by the fact that I had no clue what was going on, who this very powerful CEO was, that I had to please in a way that I would get this job, so that's really what I was trying to say.»Since Kruger's experience, «Hollywood certainly has changed,» the actress said. «It can be dark.

It can bright. I actually think it's a really good time to be a woman in Hollywood.»The darker side of Hollywood is something Kruger explores in her new project.

The actress stars alongside Kiernan Shipka in Roku Channel's drama series , which follows a Hollywood assistant (Shipka) who turns the tables on an abusive boss (Kruger). «I think that Kiernan's generation will grow up with a very different experience than a lot of women have in the past,» Kruger said. «I just think bad behavior is no longer acceptable, whether that's in Hollywood or in other businesses.
