Rose Byrne Rules Out Law Career

Rose Byrne isn't ''driven'' enough to be a lawyer.

The actress plays attorney Ellen in TV series 'Damages' but says she could never be a legal eagle in real life as she doesn't have the right personality.

She said: ''I'm fascinated by lawyers. My late uncle was a QC, an incredibly successful barrister in Australia. The Hours that peopled like Ellen and my uncle work are incredible. It takes a certain type of personality to do that.

''Lawyers are incredibly driven and you need some kind of extra engine that keeps you going. I don't have that.''

'Damages' will end after this series and Rose admits it's a ''bittersweet'' situation because although she's sad to see it go, she knows it's the right decision.

The 32-year-old beauty told the Metro newspaper: ''It's bittersweet. The writers worked until they were black and blue to get the show to where they want it and they need a break. It's a good time to leave - on a high - rather than dragging it out.''
