‘’With Harry Potter, I felt confident like ‘I’m the only one who can play this role.’ It’s weird, because now I can’t seem to replicate that for other projects… It wasn’t a role you could hide in, it was the frickin’ title character! [laughs] That was hard and that got in the way sometimes, if I’m honest. That is what gets in the way of art; when you want to be good, because then you are not being pure, you are not just expressing what it is, you’re giving the power to other people. There were some scenes that I build up in my head and I felt I needed to hit a certain note and that’s so bad as an actor. There was one where I went home crying, I was like ‘I have ruined this, why did he cast me?’ and then the next day, I went back to it and just surrendered, and then something happened. It was hard, and that’s something I need to learn. I had never played a lead role before and I had a lot of expectations going into this, and I just need to learn to not do that in the future.’’ — Evanna Lynch on her first lead role in My Name Is Emily [x] [x]
