'And having a family member right in your camp beside you when doing a sensitive scene, it means I could let some inhibitions go. It is just good to know no one is going to exploit you.
'Maybe I will only let you (Damien) direct me'
Elizabeth and her son Damian have found themselves under fire after he directed her racy lesbian sex scene in Strictly Confidential.
Elizabeth raised eyebrows for her steamy scene with another woman in the raunchy trailer for her upcoming film Strictly Confidential; which was directed by her son Damian.
But the star insists it wasn't just a 'titillating' moment but an important part of the plot of the movie.
In Damian's directorial debut, Elizabeth plays a mother called Lily who welcomes her daughter's friends to her Caribbean estate the year after the mysterious deaths of her daughter and her husband.
A number of secrets become known during the trip, including Lily's love affair with her daughter's female friend.
Of the steamy sex scene between the pair, Elizabeth told TooFab: 'Well, it was a very important part of storytelling, when Mia, our protagonist, is on this quest to find out why her best friend [Elizabeth's character's daughter] killed herself,.
'It was so integral to [the storytelling] that the actual physical filming of it wasn't even something we talked about really.
'We just knew that the impact it would have on the story and the rest was just our job.'

Elizabeth told Loose Women hosts Kaye Adams, Linda Robson, Judi Love and Frankie Bridge: 'Damian is a single child from a single mother, so we spend a lot of time together and the relationship we have forged is very different from me and my mother.'
Damian quipped: 'All we do is talk about work!'
She insists the scene is not simply included for shock value, adding she always stays away from movies that have salacious moments to stun the audience.
Elizabeth, 58, conceived her only child during a short-lived relationship with Steve, not long after she split from Hugh Grant in 2000.
