In another interview from the Elle Style Awards, Emma talks about why she chose to sign on for the role of Sam in the movie Perks of Being a Wallflower. Emma has said she gets a lot of scripts to read, but it takes something special to capture her interest. Emma says “I really like, just loved and identified with the script, when I read it, and it just made me laugh, and Sam is the character I play. She’s a really special girl, and I’m really excited to be part of it … I’m really looking forward to doing a different character, it’s a movie which deals with difficult subject matter, and I’m just real excited that we got funding to make it, and I think it’s going to be great.”
