I was working on 'Harry Potter' while I was growing up, and the attention it brought me made me feel quite isolated.
Emma Watson
Image
I had been doing something for more than half of my life that I wanted to continue doing - I really loved making the film and I really love acting and it is what I want to do.
Emma Watson
Image
I stole a piece of the chess set on the first film. I took a piece of the treasure out of Bellatrix's vault on this film. And I've taken my wand and I've got my cloak.

Image
My cinematic crush has been pretty much the same since I was 12: Kevin Costner.
Emma Watson
Image
I'm not going to school just for the academics - I wanted to share ideas, to be around people who are passionate about learning.
Emma Watson
Image
Acting never was about the money for me... Maybe in 10 years, I'll be able to appreciate the fact that I am financially stable and independent and I don't have to make bad choices. I can be very picky.
Emma Watson
Image
I wasn't one of those girls who always dreamed of being an actress. I went to a normal school and then these film auditioners turned up when I was nine. Then I just fell into this whirlwind.

Image
I genuinely haven't really had a rebellious phase. I think it's just because of the way I was brought up. I think it's because I left home when I was ten years old.

I can be 100 years old but I will always be proud to say I was in Harry Potter.
Emma Watson
Image
As a child, I loved being onstage. I loved singing, I loved the lights, I loved the adrenaline. I even loved learning lines. I was completely obsessive.
Emma Watson
Image
Most people are really nice but some stare, like you're some kind of zoo exhibit and not a real person with real feelings.
Emma Watson
Image
Hindsight is obviously a very great thing, but I'm always convinced that the reason that I didn't take as many politics or history classes is because I just didn't see any women. I didn't think when I was 13, 14 that that had anything to do with me. I just didn't see women in my textbooks.

Image
I don't know. I think there are fans out there who know that too and who wonder whether Ron would have really been able to make her happy.
Emma Watson
Image
The character is everything that I felt really strongly against - she's superficial, materialistic, vain, amoral. She's all of these things, and I realised that I really hated her. How do you play someone that you hate? But I found it really interesting and it gave me a whole new insight into what my job, or my role as an actress, could be.
Emma Watson
Image
As I've got older, and since I cut all my hair off, I've felt a bit more liberated about trying different things out.
Emma Watson
Image
WE NEED MORE OF THOSE AND IF YOU STILL HATE THE WORD, IT IS NOT THE WORD THAT IS IMPORTANT. IT'S THE IDEA AND THE AMBITION BEHIND IT.

Image
My best friend Madison keeps a list on her phone of all of the different English slang that I say, so she has kind of like a translator so she can understand without having to ask me, What on Earth are you talking about when you say 'nackered'?
Emma Watson
Image
IN MY NERVOUSNESS FOR THIS SPEECH AND MY MOMENTS OF DOUBT, I'VE TOLD MYSELF FIRMLY, 'IF NOT ME, WHO? IF NOT NOW, WHEN?'
Emma Watson
Image
I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing.
Emma Watson
Image
If I hadn't done 'Harry Potter,' I would have gone and done years of art. I really do love it, and I'd love to write.
