[13]
Acting career
2001-2003: Early career
During her childhood, Roberts spent a lot of time on the sets of the films in which her aunt
Julia Roberts was starring. These experiences sparked a desire in Roberts, from the age of five, to follow her father and aunts into the film industry.
Roberts said in an interview that: "Well I’ve been on sets since I was a little kid, and I’ve grown up around it and its something I’ve always wanted to do so it seemed pretty natural to me."
Although her mother initially wanted her to have a normal childhood, Emma Roberts made her acting debut at age nine in
Ted Demme's 2001 drama
Blow
. It was the first movie for which she ever auditioned. In the film she portrayed Kristina Jung, the daughter of
Johnny Depp's character, cocaine smuggler
George Jung. As the film is
rated R, her mother reportedly would not allow Roberts to see it before she turned eighteen. Director Ted Demme produced a tape for her that featured only the scenes in which she appeared.
[14]
In 2001, Roberts also had a role in
Leif Tilden's 10-minute
short "
bigLove" (which also starred her future stepfather, Kelly Nickels), and was an uncredited
extra in some scenes featuring her aunt Julia Roberts in

Hilary Duff and
Lindsay Lohan.
[24]
Roberts said that one of the things she enjoys about
Unfabulous is: "It's just so much fun. Everyone, like me and the kids and everyone, all get along and we're all really good friends. Also I get to pick out a lot of my own clothes on the show which is really fun.
Roberts also said of the show that one of her favorite episodes is: "I do. I really had a lot of fun filming the episode where Addie directs the school play. It kind of turns into a disaster and she gets stressed out. It's just a really funny episode, I liked it a lot. I had fun."

and Nancy Drew

[33]
Roberts said of playing the character Nancy Drew: "Yeah, if I make something appeals to me it's kind of challenging, but I mean I read the Nancy Drew script and I loved it. I loved the character, and the whole idea."
[34] Roberts also of the film, "Nancy Drew was created in like the 30s so she's very old. But in the movie her character stays basically the same as she was in book, but they just updated the story kind of around her."
Roberts also said of doing a mystery film that: "Yeah, I love mysteries and I love the whole detective idea and I think it's so fun. "
Roberts also related to the character by saying: "Oh I mean we're both ambitious and determined and also very curious but I mean she's much more of a neat freak than I am."
The film was released on DVD on March 11, 2008.
On May 15, 2006, Roberts was featured on
MTV's
Punk'd
with pop singer
Teddy Geiger. In December 2007 Roberts began filming

The Flight Before Christmas
.
[35] Roberts starred alongside comedian
Norm Macdonald. The film was released direct-to-dvd in the U.S. on October 28, 2008. Roberts said of her role in the film that: "It’s an animated movie, which is great because I’ve never done voice-over work. For this it was just me reading with myself, which is funny because as an actor, I’m used to working with other people. I do the voice for a little, white ferret named Wilma. She’s very sassy and one of the characters that Niko the reindeer meets during his search for his father—he thinks his dad might be one of Santa’s reindeer. It’s a really fun movie, and I actually got to sing in it."
[36] [37] Roberts also starred in
Spymate as Amelia Muggins, the daughter of the lead character. The film was released in
Canada in a thearetical run in 2006 and was later released direct-to-dvd in the
US on Aril 11 2006
[38]
2009-present: Hotel For Dogs
and Lymelife

Jake T. Austin in
Hotel for Dogs

[39] based on the novel by
Lois Duncan. The film
Hotel For Dogs center around Andi and her younger brother Bruce (
Jake T. Austin) trying to find homes for local stray dogs they find in their neighborhood with the help of their friends. The film premiered at The Pacific Theater in
Los Angeles, California on January 15, 2009. The film was released to theaters on January 16, 2009 and took #5 place in its opening weekend with over 17 million. The film has to-date grossed over 114 million dollars at the box office and received generally mixed reviews from critics, and the film currently holds a 45% rotten rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
[40] [41] was released on DVD April 28, 2009.
[42]
Roberts starred as the lead in the movie
Wild Child
,
[43] about a rebellious teen from
Malibu sent to a
boarding school in England. The movie ended production in late 2007, and was released on August 15, 2008 in the United Kingdom. The movie will be released in the U.S. on May 9, 2009.
[44] Emma described her character as “pretty much your typical spoiled-brat Malibu socialite who gets shipped off to British boarding school.”
[45] Roberts also described the film and her character as being: It’s about a Malibu princess who isn’t getting along with her dad so well because she behaves pretty badly, so he ships her off to boarding school in England. It’s a very cute story and I am so excited because I get to shoot in London all summer.
[46]
Roberts also said of the reason why she chose to play Poppy in
Wild Child
is that: "I love the movies like
Mean Girls
and
Clueless
and this really reminded me of that and I’d never really played a character like that before – I always played like the girl next door, so it was cool to get to play someone completely different."
[47] Roberts also said of the character that: "I'm playing a bad, mean girl who's at a boarding school in England", also that "the character is very sassy and I can sometimes get sassy a little bit."
Roberts will also appear in the
indie movie Lymelife
with
Alec Baldwin, which was premiered at the
2008 Toronto International Film Festival, on September 8, and was later screened at the
2009 Sundance Film Festival. Roberts said that
Lymelife
is “kind of like
American Beauty meets
The Ice Storm.”
In the
Teen Vogue
April 2009 issue, she explains her reasoning for doing the film, “Some people look at me and think, She’s just Julia Roberts’s niece. So I wanted to do something smaller and edgier, something that would show I really am an actress.”
Roberts also described her character in
Lymelife
and said of her:
Adrianna really is your typical girl. I think everyone knew an Adrianna type of girl growing up, and I could relate to her just because I remember being at her age, like fifteen, sixteen, where you're kind of frustrated because you don't know if you want to be older or if you have to act your age, or if you're supposed to act sexy or cute or what. I could definitely relate to that aspect of her. Roberts also said that she chose to do the role because: "I had just finished Hotel for Dogs
, and I wanted to do something just completely different. So the script [for Lymelife
] kind of just came out of nowhere, and I read it and I really liked it. I met Derick and I really, really liked him. For the most part the cast was set, and I thought the cast they had chosen was brilliant. It was something I really wanted to be a part of; when you want to be a part of something like that, you'll do whatever they want you to do.
Roberts also said: "I just really loved the material, and I loved the people that were involved with the script, and I just really wanted to be a part of it. I'm 18 now, so I think that it's appropriate and time to do something more mature."
[48]
Roberts said in a interview with
Vanity Fair
that: I’d love to do another role similar to my character in Lymelife, just because it was such a fun character to get to play with. I’d love to do a thriller, and I’d love to do a role like Kate Hudson’s in Almost Famous, because that’s my favorite movie. I just want to keep trying new things. I want to constantly be surprising people with different roles.
[49] Roberts has also said that she'd: "Yeah, I’d love to do more. I want to do a movie like The Royal Tenenbaums because I watched it for the millionth time last night and realized how much I love it. I love Gwyneth Paltrow’s character, Margot.
35% —" I just feel like with independent movies… they're really free to do whatever they want. They're not afraid to make a statement about anything, and there's not a huge studio behind them making sure that everything is wholesome and politically correct and all that. In mainstream movies, they want everything to make perfect sense, and in independents, it can be all over the place. People can just have fun with it."

Jill Sobule's 2000 album
Pink Pearl
and in the episode "The 66th Day" from

[70]
Regarding continuing her music career, she stated, "it seems like everyone records an album now. It doesn’t seem very special anymore."
In another interview, she said,
My musical career is indefinitely on hold. I don’t like people who become like ‘actor slash singer.’ I think people should be one or the other because usually you’re not going to be great at both. You’re going to better at one, so you might as well stick to the one you’re good at. I’m going for acting." [71]
Personal life
Roberts has cited actress
Anne Hathaway as a role model and has stated
Rupert Grint is one of her favorite actors.
She stated, "My most prized possession, though, is an autographed picture of Rupert Grint, who plays
Ron Weasley in the
Harry Potter films"
Roberts has also stated she is a big fan of
Gwyneth Paltrow. "I've
Netflixed all of the Gwyneth Paltrow movies. I'm a huge fan of hers. She's kind of my idol at the moment. I really like
Kirsten Dunst. She did a lot of cool, fun teen movies, and she's also done some serious roles. I like her style, and I think she seems pretty interesting."

Aquamarine
co-star
Joanna 'JoJo' Levesque and good friends with fellow Nickelodeon stars

Teen Vogue
interview Roberts remarked, “I used to have a crush on
Nick [Jonas, but he’s kind of making his rounds in Hollywood, and I don’t know if I like that.”
Roberts had sparked controversy for saying that, which drew the media attention. Roberts then began to feel bad about the comment so then at the
2009 Kids' Choice Awards Roberts wrote
Nick Jonas a hand written apology. The note read: "Nick, I love you. Sorry about the quote"
[73]
Roberts said that she and her
Lymelife
co-star
Rory Culkin are "good friends", so their on-screen romance "wasn’t really that awkward. We talked about it before and that made it much easier. Rory is really a great guy. I mean, I was definitely nervous. I kind of felt uncomfortable, but at the same time I think it worked for the scene because it is supposed to be our first time, and we are supposed to not know what we are doing.”
[74]
On January 15, 2009 Roberts appeared on
The Tonight Show With Jay Leno
. She admitted, "I failed my driving test and then my permit expired. And then I failed my permit test when I retook it. I didn’t know you had to stop before going right on red, so I just swung around the corner really quickly.”
