"The balance of that can get quite thrown off, Watson said. I think I'll be honest and straightforward, and say: I do not miss selling things. I found that to be quite soul-destroying. 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."
"Watson has been in the public eye since 2000, when she was first cast in the franchise adapted from JK Rowling's books. Other key roles included Ballet Shoes (2007), My Week With Marilyn (2011), The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) and Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring (2013). She then starred as Russell Crowe's daughter in Darren Aronofsky's Noah (2014) and as Belle in the live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast (2017), before taking on the role of Meg March in Little Women."
Emma Watson paused her acting career to prioritise academia and personal wellbeing. She has not acted in a film since December 2018 after completing Greta Gerwig's Little Women and describes being maybe the happiest and healthiest she has been. She enjoyed performing but found promotional duties and selling projects soul-destroying and misaligned with her creative priorities. She misses using her skill set and the art of acting but felt she did very little of the parts she actually enjoyed. She has been in the public eye since 2000 with varied film roles and box-office outcomes. She values rehearsal, preparation and the intense focus of a filmed scene.
