Emma Watson talks about big screen break

During a recent interview with Hollywood Authentic, Emma Watson expressed, "In some ways I really won the lottery [with acting], and what happened to me is so unusual." She further said, "But a bigger component than the actual job itself is the promotion and selling of that piece of work, this piece of art. The balance of that can get quite thrown off. I think I’ll be honest and straightforward, and say: I do not miss selling things. I found that to be quite soul-destroying."ALSO READ: Spider-Man: Brand New Day Filming Halts For One Week After Tom Holland Injury; Actor Returns To Set On THIS Day - ReportBut talking specifically about acting, she mentioned, "But I do very much miss using my skill set, and I very much miss the art. I just found I got to do so little of the bit that I actually enjoyed. I think what’s interesting about being an actor is, there’s a tendency to sort of fracture yourself into multiple personalities. I’m not just talking about the roles you play, but having the weight of a public persona, that sort of needs constant feeding and sprucing and glamorizing. It’s very energy-intensive stuff. And shedding the multiple identities has freed up so much space, I think, for me to be a better sister, daughter, friend, granddaughter and then artist. And someone who’s trying to do some critical thinking of her own.”

Emma hints at an upcoming project

During the conversation, she hinted on an upcoming project saying, "working on something that I’ve never done before."This 35-year old actress is best known for playing Hermione Granger in the 'Harry Potter' franchise.
