'It's very important for me that work is a safe place and a productive environment. I have a no a***holes policy – I don't care how famous you are, how big an actor or director you are.
'If you're a d**k, I'm not going to do it anymore. And luckily, no one was a d**k.'
For the shoot she looked incredible in a puffy blue gown and sunglasses as she fixed the camera with a sultry stare.
In another striking image she wore a pink gown with a sheer corset as she posed on a mantel piece.
She also chatted to the glossy publication about still fighting imposter syndrome when working on projects.
The beauty explained: 'I want to produce, I want to work with directors, I want to be involved from start to finish on a project. And I think that's what, after having 17 years of experience on set, I can bring.
'I still get imposter syndrome – I think, 'I'm a girl, a woman, only 30, they won't take me seriously.'
'But I've been around this for so long that I do know what I'm talking about and I have to bring out some Beyoncé energy and be like, 'No, I deserve to be here.'

Kaya and her husband Ben issued a joint statement earlier this month announcing the end of their marriage.
A representative for the couple said: 'Some time ago Kaya and Ben made the joint decision to end their marriage but continue to co-parent lovingly whilst remaining the best of friends.
'They ask that their privacy as well as that of their children's remain respected as they continue to move forward as a family.'
The couple, who have a son, seven, and two-year-old daughter, have not been seen in public together for over a year and Kaya last posted a snap of them together on her Instagram at a wedding in September 2022.
Kaya and Benjamin met while filming The King's Daughter back in 2014, when the Maze Runner star was 22 and the The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power actor was 31.
After a whirlwind romance, they became engaged in December 2014 and tied the knot the following December, both adopting the surname Scodelario-Davis.
Benjamin was previously married to Meryl Streep's daughter Mamie Gummer, from 2011 until their split in March 2013.
In The Gentlemen, Theo portrays the fictional lead character Eddie, who inherits 'his father's sizeable estate only to discover' its a 'weed empire owned by the legendary Mickey Pearson.
He is starring alongside the likes of Chanel Cresswell, Joely Richardson, Daniel Ings and Gaia Weiss.
In the series, host of unsavory characters from Britain's criminal underworld want a piece of Eddie's operation.
Determined to extricate his family from their clutches, Eddie tries to play the gangsters at their own game. However, as he gets sucked into the world of criminality, he begins to find a taste for it.
Of the new production, Guy said: 'The world of 'The Gentlemen' is a little bit of me, I'm thrilled that with Netflix, Miramax and Moonage we have this opportunity to inhabit it once again.
'We're looking forward to bringing fans back into that world, introducing new characters and their stories and I am excited to be doing it with this extremely talented cast.'
