The actress explained in an interview with Parade that it was a challenge to play Lisbeth because the character had to be both a rogue and lovable.
"I spent over a year with the character and there are so many different things that I love about her," Mara told the magazine.
The New York-born star added: "I think the thing that makes her such a compelling character is that you do sort of fall instantly in love with her, but at the same time you don't always agree with what she's doing and you also question her and you get frustrated by her. She's just an incredibly multi-layered character."
Mara previously admitted that it is hard for her to watch The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo because she harshly judges her performances.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is now playing in US and UK cinemas.
