With her latest feature film “Little Women” (2019), the actress Emma Watson vented about the reasons behind his career hiatus. In an interview with the Financial Times, the “Harry Potter” star revealed that he’s not happy. “I wasn’t very happy, to be honest I think I felt a bit trapped”, she said.

According to the 33-year-old actress, things got even more complicated when she was forced to promote projects she had no control over. “The thing that I found really difficult was having to go out and sell something that I didn’t have much control over,” declared.
“To stand in front of a movie and have every reporter be able to say, ‘How does this align with your vision?’ It was very difficult having to be the face and spokesperson for productions that I couldn’t get involved in the process.”Watson explained.
I was held accountable in a way that I started to find really frustrating, because I had no voice, no opinion. And I started realizing that I just wanted to be faced with things where if someone criticized me, I could say, in a way that didn’t make me hate myself, ‘Yeah, I screwed up, it was my decision. I should have done it better.”
During the hiatus, Emma wrote and directed a short film for Prada, something new for her. “People always told me I should direct and produce, even when I was in it [Harry] Potter”, she said.
I was concerned that it was just technical, not creative, and that I couldn’t bring what I think is probably my ability. (…) Being a director seemed unattainable. I don’t think I trusted that. I know he sounds weird. I mean, I grew up on a movie set.”
Emma, who hasn’t ruled out a return to the big screen, has also hinted that she’s been asked to direct a music video, however she hasn’t revealed the new artist. Now, the star wants to find a way to continue her work without “going into robot mode”
But I’m happy to sit back and wait for the next right thing. I love what I do. It’s finding a way to do that without having to fragment into different faces and people. And I don’t want to go into robot mode anymore.”
