 * Cluster F Bomb: Revealed in the DVD interviews for The Proposition that she had the dirtiest mouth on-set.
 * Watson typically plays adorable and innocent characters who are often wide-eyed idealists (Emily Watson is known for her large, expressive eyes) or even waif prophets, but are ultimately savagely brought down or worse by the uncaring horribleness of the world.
 * Fake Nationality: Watson is English, but played a Scot in her debut film role. She would go on to play a Scot again (in The Water Horse), two Irish people, two Russians, and five Americans.
