The Harry Potter star, who was named as a favourite for a part in the erotic movie adaptation last week, told Entertainment Weekly that she has not even read EL James's bestseller.
"I haven't read the book, I haven't read a script, nothing," she said. "There are so many movies you become attached to when I've literally never even received a phone call.
"It was the same way with The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo - I never even saw a script!"
Emma also added that many of her friends have asked her about the Fifty Shades rumours after they emerged last week.
"I told them just because there are 60 articles on the internet doesn't mean it's any less true than if there are three or four," she commented.
Emma came fourth in a recent Digital Spy casting poll to find the ideal Ana. Game of Thrones actress Emilia Clarke was placed in first, while The Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder came first in the voting to play billionaire CEO Christian Grey.
Stars such as Emma Roberts and Lucy Hale have also been linked to the Ana role, and True Blood actor Alexander Skarsgård has expressed his desire to play Christian.
