It looks likes Katie Holmes decided to share her reasoning behind her decision to go topless on the cover of the August issue of Glamour magazine.

According to E! News, in the past Tom Cruise's ex-wife bared her breasts in "The Gift" in 2000 when she was 21-years-old and now she is reflecting on her latest topless situation.

While at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills over the weekend promoting her new movie "The Giver" the brunette beauty explained, "I have done it before when I was young, the right time to do it."

The 35-year-old added, "But if the part called for it, sure, I'd do it again. I think people need to embrace themselves, their creativity and their bodies."

On the magazine cover Katie Holmes is pictured in nothing but a pair of belted tight jeans with her arms placed around her chest covering her modesty.

When speaking of the semi nude shoot Holmes said, "The inspiration was a lot of Lauren Hutton and the great photos from the '70s-jeans and Americana," adding, "It felt right. It wasn't about sexy. It was about being a woman."

She added with a laugh, "Sometimes we're topless."

Suri Cruise's mom has had much success with her movie career, wrapping films like "Mania Days" and "Miss Meadows," she's currently filming "Woman in Gold" opposite Ryan Reynolds.

Just last week she optioned the rights to "All We Had," a new novel about a mother and teen daughter living in poverty however, the actress has not ruled out returning to television.

Katie Holmes said, "TV right now is a great place to tell stories," adding, "There are so many opportunities to tell any kind of story. You can now stream so much online that it's become a great medium for communicating to the masses."

The actress admitted that her favorite series right now ranges between "Girls" and the "amazing" "Orange is the New Black."

When asked about a potential gig on the series the actress revealed that unlike the prisoners on the show she lacks body art. She said, "No, I don't have any tattoos," adding, "My child would kill me."
