Emma Watson talks dancing and concerts

 

When talking about moving on from the character of Hermione, Emma says, “I didn’t realize how restrained I had made myself by playing Hermione and living so much in the public eye.  I was very restrained and kept a tight leash on myself and was very hard on myself.  To play Sam, who is so alive and so free and spontaneous and young was the best thing I could have done.  It helped me break down a lot of barriers, listen to myself, and not care so much about what anybody else is thinking about me.”

 

She also talks about music making her feel elated and happy, saying, “I have been to a lot of music concerts lately.  I try and go every week.  That’s my favorite thing to.  Listening to live music and getting to dance and be in a crowd are things I really like.  I love dancing; you can always find me on the dance floor.”

 

She adds, “I went to see the Black Keys, Ellie Goulding, and I went to Coachella for my birthday in April, so I saw Florence and the Machine, I saw Beirut, I saw Patti Smith, and I saw Bon Iver.  They were all amazing.”
