About acting (2009):"I had been doubting if I wanted to act for the rest of my life. The reason is because I was only nine when I started. They went to my school, and they picked me. I auditioned and I got the role. I never went to acting school, I didn't know I wanted to be an actress. It's amazing, but just because it happened doesn't mean that it's the right fit for me. It took me awhile to decide what to do. And now I think it is. I come from a family of lawyers and academics, we didn't watch movies in my house. I didn't know who Gary Oldman or Maggie Smith were. So I educated myself watching thousands of movies. Now I'm passionate about it."

    During filming she never expressed any antipathy for her character, which got me wondering… interesting to hear her thoughts on it now

      Right… but it’s also true that during filming she never had interviews.
      I guess that when the movie will come out, we’ll be able to know more about her thoughts 🙂

    Very interesting to hear that while she is playing a criminal, Emma doesn’t necessarily believe she is playing a villian but more of a tragic figure.

    I’m not surprised to hear that Emma hated the Nikki character at first. 😛 She did seem to have a lot of fun playing her though, as she even “introduced” us to Nikki on twitter. Though while she may have empathized with Nikki more as time went on, she still tweeted that she was terrified after getting to see herself as Nikki lol. It will be very interesting to see her in Bling Ring and how she plays this role. 🙂
