Amber Heard is not taking anything for granted when it comes to her career. “I have been doing this as the only means to sustain myself for 11 years – my entire adult life. People have been calling me an up-and-comer for 10 years,” she adds wryly. “ I would rather be called that than a flash in the pan.”

This week’s edition of NET-A-PORTER’s digital magazine under Editor-in-Chief Lucy Yeomans features actress Amber Heard in ladylike pieces by Kiki de Montparnasse, Giambattista Valli, Bottega Veneta, Jonathan Saunders, The Row and Dolce & Gabbana. In an exclusive interview, Amber Heard talks about her career and relationships and why she chose to leave home at the age of 16 . “I needed to go,” Heard says simply. “I didn’t have a goal,” she recalls. “I was just curious and hungry, and had nothing to lose. I come up from the middle of nowhere and grew up with nothing.”

After enrolling in acting classes in Austin, Texas, Heard decided to pursue her acting career seriously. “I remember my biggest hurdle was that I wasn’t yet 18, and it caused some problems – getting a hotel room, for instance,” she says. “I was on my own. I forged my parents’ name to be on set, because I was a minor, but I was working as an adult, I forged a fake ID, too.” she reflects on her parents reaction; “They did not react ideally, as you would expect, but they also couldn’t stop me.”

On relationships, Heard says; “I have had relationships, successful relationships, with men, and I had a great relationship with a wonderful woman.” It was a relationship that had the tabloid press desperate to define her sexuality. “I will never beg for an easy classification or label for that moment in my life, or assume to know what the future holds for me. I have always been and always will be just who I am and I will never fake anything for anyone.”
