About wearing colours (2011): "I try to avoid wearing black because sometimes it's the easy option. But I'm young, so it's nice to be able to play with color and not just wear black all the time. I can save that for when I'm older."

    Congrats Emma! 🙂

    We have to wait the whole year (and a bit more for sure) to finally see you singing and dancing on this role, but I think it’ll be worth it.

    It’s a good thing Disney is also making another Beauty and the Beast adaptation, allowing Emma to sign up for that adaptation as the version she was going to be a part of is having issues (if it even winds up being made at all) since del Toro quit the project. It’s not the first project Emma signed up for that wound up not taking off (Napoleon and Betsy, Your Voice In My Head, etc.) and it frees her up for other roles, but it’s still frustrating, probably even moreso for her as she seemed to really look forward to them. At least this time
    it worked out as she is in a Beauty and the Beast movie that will actually be made. :). (I do wonder what’s going on with Queen of the Tearling though).

    She’s also wanted to be in a musical as well, so this works out even more. ;).
