The Telegraph has a new interview with Emma Watson where she discusses schooling.
I would like to go to university and complete a degree and so that will mean a break from acting. I’ve always tried to balance my education with my acting career, but I just don’t think it will be possible to juggle it with a degree course. I have a need now to study. There are excellent universities over there [USA] and I’m applying at the moment.
After she completes work on the last Harry Potter film, of which there are two parts, Miss Watson has no further acting commitments scheduled. Her spokesman denied she is giving up acting for good but confirmed that “any future projects will take second place to University. Her first commitment will be to her course”.
Emma’s official site has been updated with news about fashion shows!
At the end of September and early October, Emma will be travelling to Paris to catch the Chanel, Balenciaga and [Alexander] McQueen shows as part of it’s fashion week!
The Italian Vogue photo shoot was a fascinating experience. I was very excited to work with Vogue for the first time, but also to be given the chance to model couture. Each dress was so special and important (because it is one of a kind), … And the jewellery to match each dress came with its own security guards.
I was terrified of ripping, getting mud (as we shot outdoors), cake, a prop, or anything on the dresses! I felt like I was learning a whole new set of rules to a new game – just like shooting a film. Mark encouraged me to become a different person or character for photograph and so they all tell difference stories. So, in the end, I combined two loves: art/fashion and acting.
I enjoyed the fact that Mark treated me like he would have done any other model and pushed to get the best out of me. I learnt a lot and have found a whole new respect for the hard work models put into their work and for couture. A love affair has begun.
