Kirsten Dunst is headed back to school, and it's not for a movie role.

In the April issue of W magazine, Dunst, 24, opens up about her lengthy film career - and her newest obsession.

The actress candidly explains how her career and life have evolved to the point that she's temporarily putting acting on hold to audit a few college-level art classes.

Find out what else the young starlet has to say in the April issue of W, on newsstands March 23.

ON PROVING HERSELF AS AN ACTRESS…“After Marie Antoinette, I was feeling that I had to prove myself. Ugh. Like, I didn’t do it. I didn’t prove myself enough. Then I thought, Whatever. I’m in a really happy place, and I want to do a fun movie. Why do I want to be superserious chick all the time? I have a dark side, but I also like comedy, so I think next I want to do something that’s super over-the-top.”

ON RECENTLY BECOMING AN ART STUDENT…“It’s really about finding your style, rather than 'Hold the pencil like this.' I just need to learn the tools so that I can do the things that I want to do…It’s so private and I love it so much and it’s like a little secret in my heart. And the more I talk about it, the less control I feel I have. I don’t think everyone has to go to college. Just explore other things.”

ON BEING EXCITED TO HAVE A STUDENT ID…“I have my ID—it’s so exciting. I was showing it to my girlfriends in the restaurant last night. I’m like, ‘I can get money off movie tickets now!’”
