Emma Watson opened up about stepping back from acting and explained that when she was surrounded by all those famous people at the height of her career, she realized that no level of success would make her happy unless she was true to herself.
In an interview for British Vogue, the 33-year-old actress said her new-found freedom would not have been possible if she’d stayed in front of the camera and on the big screen.

“I’m so glad that I allowed things to be messy for a minute and to really allow myself to not know [what’s next], because the knowing that I’ve come to, I wouldn’t trade that for anything,” she added.
