1
I think what's nice is at the very least,
2
dating for everyone is basically a complete disaster and free for all.
3
So I feel like I'm in good company in that sense.
4
But I think it's funny,
5
occasionally people will apologize to me for the fact they've not seen my films.
6
And I will be like, please don't apologize.
7
That is bliss to me,
8
like music to my ears that you're not going to constantly be navigating.
9
And me also navigating with you,
10
this projection of me, or this Emma Watson avatar person will not be this ghost in the room.
11
So that's happened a few times where people have been like, I'm really sorry.
12
And I'm like, please don't apologize.
13
I'm so relieved.
14
I'm so incredibly relieved.
15
And then you realize they have the box in that later on.
16
Yeah, no, my God, I hope not.
17
But I mean, I guess I want people to appreciate my work,
18
but I think knowing you don't have to navigate that extra degree of weirdness is helpful and relief.
19
How do you help people get to know the real you at this stage in your life?
20
You know, I wrote this play that I actually sent you to read,
21
but I actually read parts of it to people because I find
22
that trying to explain sometimes how weird it is to be me I almost need aids.
23
It's so difficult to convey how weird it is and how surreal sometimes.
24
Sometimes I'll just be like,
25
can I just read you this thing I wrote?
26
Because I think it's going to shortcut you somewhere.
27
And so that's actually been incredibly helpful.
28
And I'm so glad I went and did this creative writing masters.
29
And I've spent more time writing about my experiences because sometimes I can't even articulate it to myself.
30
Like how are you supposed to explain something to someone else that you can't really even understand for yourself?
31
So I think writing, creative writing,
32
making art has been the best therapy I've ever done because it's helped me get clarity.
33
And also just be able to laugh at myself and laugh at the situation.
34
I think one-on-one therapy can be amazing,
35
but like there is a kind of intensity and a seriousness to
36
that that maybe when you're writing something down and
37
when I wrote the play I wrote it for my friends
38
and family
39
and I was able to kind of be more my bring more of myself to the picture in a way
40
which is someone who's like this is just nuts like I
41
just can't like I can't sometimes I just genuinely cannot believe that my life is my life and
42
I need a place I can put that yeah I loved
43
so just for everyone who's you know hearing about the referencing of this play Emma wrote a play
44
which helped her closest friends and family understand her experience of life basically yeah right is
45
that a bad description no no it's not a bad description
46
but like specifically I wrote the play about me transitioning from basically being a full-time actress,
47
an activist, to trying to move home and like be a normal student
48
and attend a normal university as a super famous person.
49
And I basically kept a journal of what those experiences were like
50
and chronicled them for my friends and family for about a year
51
and then performed it as a one-woman show at the end of the first year
52
and handed that in as my as my first year piece of work
53
and yeah yeah did it get an a it got a
54
distinction oh amazing great there we go i love it it actually did not
55
that that was the point but it kind of wasn't the point
56
but i think the coolest thing was was like i read
57
it for my roommate for example who's been living for seven years
58
and he was like wait wait stop stop stop he's like
59
is this actually how you feel like do do you actually feel this?
60
And I was like, yeah,
61
I wouldn't have written it if I didn't.
62
And he was like, I had no idea that this was how you felt.
63
And this is someone I live with.
64
And so for me, who I perceive myself to be this massive open book,
65
and actually I realized, I was like,
66
wow,
67
I think I'm doing a good job of bringing the people that I love along with me on what this feels like.
68
And actually, I'm not saying nearly enough or explaining it in a way where it makes sense.
69
And so even my parents were just like, couldn't believe it really.
70
Yeah.
71
I'm sure they were brought to tears by parts of it.
72
I mean, I was so moved by it.
73
And I really hope you do one day make it a production in some capacity
74
because it was so moving and so powerful.
75
And it was, Emma, honestly,
76
it was what every public figure has ever tried to explain to me about their experience,
77
yet put so succinctly, powerfully,
78
and meaningfully that anyone could relate to it.
79
And I think anyone meaning anyone who's ever felt misunderstood,
80
loved for what they have and not who they are,
81
seen for parts of themselves and not all of themselves.
82
And I really believe it will be such a service to
83
everyone to share it one day in however way you decide to,
84
because honestly, I was gripped.
85
I was completely captivated.
86
I couldn't put it down.
87
I feel like I'm going to read it again and again and again.
88
It's not something that I think you read once.
89
Not only are you a brilliant writer,
90
but it is so true and honest.
91
And for everyone who's listening and watching,
92
I think the lesson for me is that your therapy could turn into something creative that when you shared that with me,
93
when we were speaking on the phone,
94
I was so in awe of that that therapy in one-to-one setting
95
or in whatever way of healing you believe in
96
if it turns into something you have to put together to
97
communicate to others that's the revelation like the revelation is in
98
that process not in the listening telling share uh speaking that's great
99
and that's a part of it but
100
if you can go one step ahead truly i i feel this like urgency and desperation to communicate this specific piece,
101
which is like, make art about your experiences.
102
The neurosis of being a writer or anyone making anything is like,
103
I don't have anything valuable to say.
104
It's all been said before.
105
This is so self-indulgent.
106
This is so narcissistic.
107
Who even wants to hear this?
108
This is bad.
109
I thought all of those thoughts probably most days as I wrote this
110
but trust me like whatever you think people know about you
111
or they know about your life or how you feel about it they don't
112
and they need you to write poems write songs make pictures write plays
113
and you don't need to be someone with the title of an artist to be able to do
114
that you really don't
115
and in fact I have to write on my mirror I
116
have it written on my door I am an artist
117
because I don't think anyone feels like they deserve
118
that title I've been making films and writing
119
and making art since I was nine years old
120
and I don't feel like I deserve that title
121
and I have to work at it all the time to
122
feel like I have anything that's worthwhile saying I really understand the struggle I really really do
123
but there is something about doing it and like having a physical thing
124
because I think so many of these thoughts and feelings live in our heads
125
and it's not a great place for them to live.
126
They need to come out somewhere.
127
And once you can put them somewhere, then you're free.
128
Being understood or feeling like you're understood by the people around you has got to be the best feeling in the world.
129
And I think it's what we're looking for when we do so many things,
130
but often that's not the way to find it.
131
And I just, God, yeah.
132
Honestly, I want to go to every person in the street and be like,
133
you need to write a one-person show about your life and then perform it for your friends and family.
134
Or like, you need to paint the thing,
135
write the song, just do it.
136
Because it's kind of one of the best,
137
most meaningful things I've done.
138
It's trying to make sense of it all.
139
And I love that you did it for your family.
140
That's the part that proves to me
141
when you say the message of make your art
142
and you don't need to be a full-time actor or director or movie filmmaker.
143
It's like you actually lived that part.
144
And that's what I love about it the most is
145
that you didn't make it for a stage or a movie or a documentary or whatever.
146
And honestly, first I wrote it for myself.
147
Honestly, I didn't think I had the guts to read this aloud to anyone.
148
I thought it was just for me and maybe like two other people.
149
And performing it for my...
150
I didn't even invite my family until like two days before because I just didn't think I had the courage.
151
Make art for people you love.
152
Make beautiful things for people that you love,
153
just for people that you love.
154
That's one.
155
I guess I had the extraordinary experience of making things for the world,
156
basically, from such a young age.
157
And I never made anything that I didn't feel like needed to be shared publicly.
158
And I remember when I made Little Women,
159
I mean, that's such an amazing thing about Louise May Alcott,
160
is that really she wrote those stories for her sisters and so many people's journeys and paths start because,
161
yeah, out of love they wrote them for just one person.
162
There was a certain point I remember in my life where I was like,
163
right, I'm done with university now and now I'm going to just focus full,
164
what I should be doing is just focusing full time on being an actress and doing all of that.
165
And I had completely missed actually that Emma,
166
the academic, Emma the student,
167
Emma the person that needs to constantly be learning things facilitated my ability to be a famous person
168
and in Hollywood and that without her
169
I actually couldn't do it I needed I need to have both
170
and that when one gets stripped away and like even as I'm
171
and I explore this in the play as well it's like
172
even as I have returned to some form of normalcy ordinary life whatever
173
that looks like to me now like I also can't kill
174
her off completely you know my public person there's parts of me
175
that like still does need those outlets and to do those things too
176
and i'm figuring out what those are but i think that's what's
177
so complicated about being human is is it's yes and not either
178
or it's we need we need to be all of ourselves
179
so that we can do the extraordinary things
180
that we what we want to do maybe it's about not leaving parts of ourselves behind,
181
finding a way to keep threading the tapestry and all of it

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
