Actress Jessica Alba says she has left behind her timidity and insecurities and feels more grounded and saucier now.

The 33-year-old is now a mother to children Honor, six, and Haven, two, with husband Cash Warren, and she believes she's a more confident person.

"I feel much more grounded, much more comfortable, much more saucy. Then I was a girl, I was timid, I was afraid, I was so insecure and now I'm a woman and it's different... I'm more uninhibited," she told the forthcoming issue of Britain's GQ magazine, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Now, Alba is reprising her "Sin City" role of Nancy Callahan in "Sin City: A Dame To Kill For". Her fans can expect much more from her in the new movie.

"There's more of me and I do more than I did in the first one. I have a bit more of a character arc in this one. There's more dancing, but the dancing's really connected to the story. Nancy's a bit of an alcoholic and a bit of a mess and she's depressed and angry. The dances in the movie reflects where she's at," she added.
