Back when Emma Stone turned 30, she sat down for a heart-to-heart with British Vogue to talk about breaking out of your twenties. She talked about the lessons she’s learned over the past decade and how she plans to approach her thirties. The actress revealed how one of the biggest lessons she learned was that she doesn’t have to please anyone or try hard to please anyone.

Speaking about how she felt when she turned thirty, the actress shared: “I was gloomy for about a week, but I realized that the fun thing about getting older is that most things become bittersweet. I’m still finding my voice.” She then talked about the lessons she’s learned over the years and said, “It’s okay if not everyone likes you, and it doesn’t make it any more attractive to convince them why you’re likeable.” It’s interesting that you talk about the public persona of my “charm” or whatever. You know, partly this is my damage. This is partly my shortcoming.”

We’re all just a bunch of people trying to figure out how to get through the day.” The actress concluded: “Saying goodbye to the past decade was equal parts nostalgic, a little sad, incredibly exciting and hopeful. Let’s see what will happen next”.
Previously, in a separate interview, she spoke with Jennifer Lawrence for Elle magazine. In a retrospective interview, the Cruella actress said: “My twenties were a really interesting time and a lot of things have happened in the last 10 years, both positive and not so positive. It’s strange how turning 30 crystallizes your life. Instead of just living the dreams I had as a teenager, doing what I love, making friends and going through all that, I think: What do I actively want as an adult?”
