00:00Emma Watson says she's the happiest and healthiest after seven-year acting break.

00:05Emma Watson may not be eyeing a return to the big screen anytime soon.

00:10In a Sunday, September 21 interview, the Harry Potter alum, 35,

00:15reveals where she stands with acting after a seven-year hiatus.

00:19Watson, who has not acted since 2018's Little Women,

00:23does not miss one thing in particular about Hollywood.

00:26The bigger component than the actual job itself is the promotion and selling of that piece of work,

00:31this piece of art.

00:33The balance of that can get quite thrown off, she explained.

00:36I think I'll be honest and straightforward and say, I do not miss selling things.

00:40I found that to be quite soul-destroying.

00:43But I do very much miss using my skill set, and I very much miss the art.

00:47I just found I got to do so little of the bit that I actually enjoyed.

00:51Watson continued,

00:51The moment you get on a film set, you don't get very long for rehearsal.

00:55It's intense meditation when you focus solely on that moment as the camera rolls.

00:59I miss that profoundly, but I don't miss the pressure.

01:02Despite doing a small play with friends, the stress was overwhelming,

01:06even without a real audience.

01:07I don't miss that.

01:09Although the movie star has a love-hate relationship with her career,

01:12she is currently the happiest and healthiest she's ever been,

01:16without having the weight of a public persona.

01:18The perks of being a wallflower actress stress the importance of her personal life over her work.

01:23The most important thing, really, or the foundation of your life,

01:27is your home and friends and family.

01:29Working too hard caused my life to bottom out, she expressed.

01:32I needed to do some construction work.

01:35Otherwise, you panic, moving project to project, terrified of the void.

01:38Alright.

01:39Wait.

01:39Let him take part.

01:39Win a long fight.

01:40I received a verse.

01:41Let him take part.
