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

00:06I do not miss selling things.

00:08Emma Watson may not be eyeing a return to the big screen anytime soon.

00:12In a Sunday, September 21st, interview, the Harry Potter alum, 35,

00:17reveals where she stands with acting after a seven-year hiatus.

00:21Watson, who has not acted since 2018's Little Women,

00:25does not miss one thing in particular about Hollywood.

00:27The bigger component than the actual job itself is the promotion and selling of that piece of work,

00:33this piece of art.

00:34The balance of that can get quite thrown off, she explained.

00:37I think I'll be honest and straightforward and say I do not miss selling things.

00:42I found that to be quite soul-destroying, but I do very much miss using my skill set

00:46and I very much miss the art.

00:48I just found I got to do so little of the bit that I actually enjoyed.

00:52Watson continued,

00:53The moment you get on a film set, you don't get very long for rehearsal.

00:57But the moment you get to talk through a scene,

00:59or I got to prepare and think about how I wanted to do something,

01:03and then the minute the camera rolls,

01:05and getting to just completely forget about everything else in the world,

01:08other than that one moment,

01:10it's such an intense form of meditation.

01:13Because you just cannot be anywhere else.

01:15It's so freeing.

01:17I miss that profoundly.

01:18But I don't miss the pressure.

01:19I forgot it was a lot of pressure.

01:22I did a small thing for a play, just with my friends.

01:25I was like, bloody hell, this is stressful.

01:28And that wasn't even for a real public audience or anything.

01:31I don't miss that.

01:33Although the movie star has a love-hate relationship with her career,

01:36she is currently the happiest and the healthiest

01:39she's ever been without having the weight of a public persona.

01:42The perks of being a wallflower actress

01:44stress the importance of her personal life over her work.

01:48The most important thing, really,

01:49or the foundation of your life,

01:51is your home and friends and family.

01:53I think I worked so hard for so long

01:54that my life sort of bottomed out, she expressed.

01:57The bottom fell out of the piece,

01:59which was actually me and my life.

02:01So I needed to go and do some construction work,

02:04some good foundations for anything else to grow from.

02:07Because if you don't have that,

02:08there's a kind of mania that ensues.

02:11A kind of panic where you move from one project to the next,

02:14kind of terrified of the void in between them.

02:16You realize you don't have a rhythm to your life.
