Emma Watson: "I was immersed in this world that felt so empty"

[Version française]










By playing Nicki, Watson got a taste of a Hollywood life she could very easily live — and she hated it.

"It was very funny to me, and then it got dark and sad. A friend of mine who didn't know what I had going on saw me and said, 'You seem really dark.' I was immersed in this world that felt so empty," she says. "Nicki aspires to be this very spiritual, very Zen, very altruistic person. That's what I loved about her. She had all these dichotomies. It wasn't liberating for me to play a bad girl. It was liberating for me to play someone so different from myself. It was liberating to leave myself behind."

Watson plans to complete her studies at Brown University this fall. She likens the Chanel and Prabal Gurung ensembles she dons on red carpets to her suits of armor, comparable perhaps to Harry Potter's cloak of invisibility.

When she was growing up, Watson says, "my father would never let me buy Barbie dolls or watch television. He made a pointed parental decision. I asked him why he didn't let me have Barbie dolls and he said he didn't want me thinking that that was a normal body. I didn't realize he'd thought about it that much. I just thought he was strict and mean."
