Quote

How as an actress are you meant to inhabit other people if you haven't lived? How are you meant to play someone who gets the bus to work or has a part-time job or whatever if I've never experienced any of it myself or if I haven't been to school? How does that make me someone that people can relate to? I don't think it's possible really.

As an actress I take roles I find interesting.
Emma Watson
Image
The entertainment industry is pretty nuts, and having had that experience outside of it and going to university has really made a big difference. It's important to me to feel like I have my own life.
Emma Watson
Image
I try to avoid wearing black because sometimes it's the easy option. But I'm young, so it's nice to be able to play with color and not just wear black all the time. I can save that for when I'm older.
Emma Watson
Image
I think there's this idea that lipstick is something quite old or something you'd only wear at night.
Emma Watson
Image
My friends are all really nice about my fame, they're just curious really, they ask lots of questions.
Emma Watson
Image
I guess what really forms you as a person is what you do within your family to receive love or attention. In my family, what you had to do to receive attention was to have good conversation at the dinner table or for me to do well at school, and those were really my focuses because that was what was valued the most.

It's amazing people get so detached from what they eat and what they wear. No one has any contact with how things are made that are put in their body and put in their mouths and I just find it alarming that no one questions it.
Emma Watson
Image
I still have friends from primary school. And my two best girlfriends are from secondary school. I don't have to explain anything to them. I don't have to apologize for anything. They know. There's no judgment in any way.
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
I want to avoid becoming too styled, too ‘done’ and too generic. You see people as they go through their career, and they just become more and more like everyone else. They start out with something individual about them, but it gets lost.
Emma Watson
Image
I didn't see many female politicians on TV. I didn't see women in history textbooks, so I did geography, and art and English literature. But I know I must have been affected by not seeing women represented.
Emma Watson
Image
When I haven't been working I've tried to travel a lot.
Emma Watson
Image
For an actor, it is better to play well (or even not so well) in a bad film, than to not play at all.
Emma Watson
Image
Why has the word become such an uncomfortable one?
Emma Watson
Image
We want to end gender inequality, and to do this, we need everyone involved...We want to try to galvanize as many men and boys as possible to be advocates for change and we don't just want to talk about it. We want to try and make sure that it's tangible.

I think the actresses who are really successful are comfortable in their own skins and still look human.
Emma Watson
Image
All the baggage that comes with fame, being an actress. The down side to it is the intrusion into your life and this expectation that because they've seen you onscreen, they kind of have a right to you as a human being and personally and in your life.
Emma Watson
Image
I love fashion. I think it's so important, because it's how you show yourself to the world.
Emma Watson
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.

Photographers want to reinvent you, to take you somewhere else, to show you in a completely different way. They look at your previous work, and try to figure out what they can do to show a new side of you.
