Christina Ricci says she is ready to settle down.

The 27-year-old star, who is dating actor-and-director Adam Goldberg, is happy in her relationship but unsure if she wants to get married, despite pressure from her family.

Christina told Tatler magazine: "I'm definitely more at a time in my life where I want to settle down. I think about marriage a lot. Sometimes it sounds really good, but then I'm not actually sure I'd want to go through with the wedding.

"Although I feel like if we didn't have a wedding, my family would be mad at me, and Adam's family would be mad at him."

However, the 'Monster' actress likes the idea of wearing a huge engagement ring.

Christina, who has been dating Goldberg since they met on the set of 'I Love Your Work' in 2003, joked: "I don't want to deal with it because you know you're going to get in trouble. I just want to be married, or just engaged. Basically, I just want a ring. And the tax break!

"We live around the corner from each other at the moment, but we will probably move back in together in a couple of years."

Christina, who stars in 'Black Snake Moan' alongside Justin Timberlake, says the 'SexyBack' singer refused to teach her to dance.

The actress revealed: I wanted to know how to pop and lock. But apparently that's not the appropriate terminology, so he said, 'No I can't'.

"We really had a fun time. In one scene we did together I had no underwear on, just a shirt, and later he told me he'd been really shocked by that. But he acted like it was totally normal."
