The 24-year-old actress confirmed that she is hoping to achieve more recognition for her talent rather than her looks as she grows older.
"I look forward to growing in the industry and ageing in the industry," Johansson told The Times. "A lot of actresses take their meatiest roles in their thirties and forties. And I'm looking forward to that.
"I'm at a little bit of a funny age where I get that 'sexiest woman' thing, and it feels like a label for right now. But maybe when I get older, it won't be like that."
Johansson added that she currently has to deal with a "media circus" which surrounds her personal life.
She said: "I guess it has something to do with the fact that I'm confident and speak my mind, so I guess I'm labelled in some way or another."
The star's new movie The Spirit opens at cinemas on January 1.
