Emma Watson covers T: The New York Times Style Magazine for its Women’s Fall Fashion 2012 issue.
Inside the issue, the 22-year-old explains why she’s starred in little outside of Harry Potter that’s high profile, why she’s not moved away from that image, and how starring in that movie changed her life.
On why she didn’t work on other films during Harry Potter: “I think at first I didn’t because I was always either studying or filming, I didn’t have time to go off and do other films or other things to sort of show people that, Oh, she is not just Hermione, she is an actress and she can go and do these other parts and roles. I didn’t really have time to do any of that.”
On her parents giving her advice: “They gave me the best advice they could, and I think they gave me very good advice. But my mum particularly said, ‘Right, you’re going to go into these interviews and they’re going to ask you anything they feel like asking you, and every time they ask you a question, think about whether you’d be comfortable discussing it with a stranger.’”
On fame: “If I went to somewhere busy, I wouldn’t last very long. I can’t go to a museum, I’ll last 10 or 15 minutes in a museum. The problem is that when one person asks for a photograph, then someone sees a flash goes off, then everyone else sort of . . . it’s sort of like a domino effect. And then very quickly the situation starts to get out of control to a point where I can’t manage it on my own.” - via NYT.
