This Thing We Call Life

Emma Stone is featured in this week’s issue of S magazine. In the issue, Emma spoke about her upcoming projects, having the ability to choose roles, and so much more. Highlights can be found below.

On having the flexibility to choose roles: “I’m lucky enough to have a choice right now, which is really rare. It’s also a brilliant learning experience. I didn’t go to drama school so working with actors or directors I respect, and trying to do things I haven’t had the opportunity to do before, feels really important. I need to learn and soak up as much as possible.”

On playing Skeeter in The Help: “Getting to live in the South and playing Skeeter was so enriching. She is learning about the everyday lives of these women just as I was. I felt like we were learning in tandem, because I had been educated about the most well-known stories of the Civil Rights era but not the day-to-day lives of the ordinary women.”

On having body issues: “I do have that thing of, ‘Oh my God, I’m disgusting – I ate a huge Wagamama lunch, the whole yaki soba, and I feel so fat.’But I’m still gonna eat that stuff, and you know what? You can get nice, loose clothes that cover it all up. I’m not gonna go parading around in a bikini. OK, I did that in a photoshoot once, but it’s about what you’re comfortable with at the time you’re comfortable with it. That was a good day, but you won’t hear me saying I have no body issues because I wouldn’t be human if I didn’t.”
