Also I get to pick out a lot of my own clothes on the show which is really fun.[13] Robert's also said of the sow that one of her favorite episodes is: "I do.

I loved the character, and the whole idea."[34] Robert's also of the film that: "Yeah, Nancy Drew was created in like the 30s so she's very old.

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][35] Robert's 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]

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] Robert's 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] Robert's also said of the reason why she choose the to pay 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] Robert's also said of the character that: "I'm playing a bad, mean girl who's at a boarding school in England.", also that "Well the character is very sassy and I can sometimes get sassy a little bit." and on playing the character that: "Yeah I'm so excited.

Roberts will also appear in the indie movie Lymelife with Alec Baldwin in New Jersey, 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.” [45] 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.” [45] Robert's also described her character in the film Lymelife and said of her that : " 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."[48] Robert's also said that she choose to do the role because: "Yeah, that was part of it. 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." Robert's 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."[49] 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.[50] Robert's 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.[36]

" 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."

Roberts said of continuing her music career: "No, because it seems like everyone records an album now. It doesn’t seem very special anymore."[36] She stated in an interview with PARADE magazine:

“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.”[citation needed]

I liked the title and it's a period book. And Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris. I love Chuck Palahniuk as an author. I love Invisible Monsters. It's really twisted but really cool. I think he's amazing. My favorite book is The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky."[62] Robert's has also stated that one of her idol's is singer/actress Joanna 'JoJo' Levesque, whom Robert's co-starred with in Aquamarine.

"Nick, I love you. Sorry about the quote"[63]

Robert's said in an interview with San Francisco Chronicle about her Lymelife co-star Rory Culkin, that: “[Rory Culkin and I] are good friends, so it 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.”[64] Robert's said in an interview with OK! Magazine that she feels that her upcoming 2009 film Lymelife is her transition to more adult roles, Robert's had said:

“This is my first role that’s a transition to more adult roles. The script was so well-written, and such a perfect part for me to transition from teen star to more adult films. It’s hard to find great material that’s not too over-the-top edgy, but still shows you in a different light.”[65]

On January 15, 2009 Robert's appeared on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and Jay Leno asked, if she's driving yet Robert's shook her head and put her head down in shame. She shared,:

“No, 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. (laughs)”[66]

Robert's also drew the media 's attention in an interview when she praised Anne Hathaway(who Robert's has stated is a role model to her) and had compared Hathaway's career to Lindsay Lohan's, it had been noted that when Robert's was discussing the two's career than she seemed to have as some put "dissed Lohan's career". Robert's stated

"I just think it's very thin ice you're walking on, to make the transition from child actor to adolescence. Because - you know, so many people just mess it up, and they do things that are so outrageous. And it's like - the whole point is, like, Anne Hathaway. The fact that she was in Princess Diaries, like, you'd never think about that. Whereas, like, Lindsay Lohan, you still know that she was in Freaky Friday and The Parent Trap, and it's hard to take her seriously. So that's why I really like - like, Anne Hathaway is a great example."[67]

Robert's said in an interview on The Bunny Hunt Show (dated January 19, 2009 ), while promoting Hotel For Dogs that, on popular reality shows: “I started watching The City which I think is better. But The Hills I don’t really understand because I think everyone knows it is fake except for LC [Lauren Conrad] because she is the only one crying in every episode. I feel bad I’m like, ‘She is always crying and no one else is. Maybe she doesn’t know it’s fake.” [68][69] In an interview on Entertainment Tonight, while promoting Hotel For Dogs Robert's said that she - as of January 17, 2009 has a dog.
