Emma Watson has had a love-hate relationship with Hollywood as far as anyone may care to remember. The actress’ stay in theHarry Potterfilm series was marked by a fascination for the art of acting equally balanced by her need for pursuing academics.

I’d put my hands on the sink and look at myself in the mirror and say, ‘Who is this?’ I didn’t connect to the person who was looking back at me, and that was a very unsettling feeling… it dawned on me that this is what you’re signing up for.”
