But a bigger component than the actual job itself is the promotion and selling of that piece of work, this piece of art,&#8221; she says. &#8220;The balance of that can get quite thrown off. I think I\u2019ll be honest and straight-forward, and say: I do not miss selling things. I found that to be quite soul-destroying.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, Emma I can promise you that if I ever get to interview you, it will not be painful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rebellt-item&#10;        &#10;        &#10;        &#10;        col1\" id=\"rebelltitem2\" data-id=\"2\" data-reload-ads=\"false\" data-is-image=\"False\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.brit.co\/emma-watson-acting-soul-destroying-hollywood\/particle-2\" data-basename=\"particle-2\" data-post-id=\"2674026677\" data-published-at=\"1758660707\" data-use-pagination=\"False\">\n<p>But despite its challenges, Emma said she does miss the actual process of bringing a story to life. &#8220;I do very much miss using my skill-set, and I very much miss the art,&#8221; she continues. &#8220;The minute the camera rolls, and getting to just completely forget about everything else in the world other than that one moment \u2013 it\u2019s such an intense form of meditation. Because you just cannot be anywhere else. It\u2019s so freeing. I miss that profoundly.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>She said a recent stint in a friend&#8217;s play reminded her how much pressure there is! &#8220;I did a small thing for a play, just with my friends. I was like, \u2018Bloody hell, this is stressful!\u2019&#8221; she jokes. &#8220;And that wasn\u2019t even for a real public audience or anything. I don\u2019t miss that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rebellt-item&#10;        &#10;        &#10;        &#10;        col1\" id=\"rebelltitem3\" data-id=\"3\" data-reload-ads=\"true\" data-is-image=\"False\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.brit.co\/emma-watson-acting-soul-destroying-hollywood\/particle-3\" data-basename=\"particle-3\" data-post-id=\"2674026677\" data-published-at=\"1758660707\" data-use-pagination=\"False\">\n<p>In a 2023 interview with Financial Times, Emma Watson <strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brit.co\/emma-watson-new-project\/\" target=\"_blank\">also promises<\/a><\/strong> she&#8217;ll &#8220;absolutely&#8221; act again, but &#8220;I\u2019m happy to sit and wait for the next right thing&#8230;It\u2019s finding a way to do it where I don\u2019t have to fracture myself into different faces and people. And I just don\u2019t want to switch into robot mode any more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And considering the Little Women actress revealed she&#8217;s got a project up her sleeve at the moment, we could see her again sooner rather than later. &#8220;I\u2019m working on \u2013 actually, I\u2019m not going to say what, because then people are like, \u2018Well, when is it happening? What\u2019s going on with this thing?\u2019&#8221; she continues. &#8220;So I\u2019m just going to say that I\u2019m working on something that I\u2019ve never done before. So I feel a bit like a person who\u2019s in the dark, stumbling around, looking for the edges of something, and hoping. It sounds like I\u2019m trying to find a light switch. But it\u2019s good.
