Our society in general devalues the ‘she’ – qualities that are associated with the feminine that are found in all of us. As a result there’s this imbalance and this distortion and it’s hindering our progress.
The saddest thing for a girl to do is to dumb herself down for a guy.
I don’t want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.
Young girls are told you have to be the delicate princess. Hermione taught them that you can be the warrior.
I don’t want other people to decide who I am. I want to decide that for myself.
If you believe in equality, you’re a feminist. Sorry to tell you.
We really damage our own confidence when we put ourselves down, so I try not to.
Don’t let anyone tell you what you can or cannot do, or cannot achieve. Do. Not. Allow. It.
Feminism is equality: politically; culturally; socially; economically. That’s it, that simple.
Girls should never be afraid to be smart.
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.
I don’t have makeup on all the time, but when I want, I have fun with my friends choosing clothes and putting nail polish on.
I’ve got about eight pairs of shoes, and that’s it.
Hermione uses all these big long tongue twister words. I don’t know what she’s going on about half the time!
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.
I like to think of myself as an actress, I think of going through all of the films as my kind of film academy, the way that I’ve learnt.
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.
While I wouldn’t object to work at a restaurant or a different place that sells decent-or-better food, I think that I can learn much more by becoming a coder.
I’m lucky that I’ve worked with so many different directors with very different styles and with a lot of different actors.
I really never break the rules. I’m not scared to say what I think or if I really disagree with something then I’ll say it, but I’m not kind of like a born rebel.
I’ve never really had any barrier to break I guess. I don’t really have anything to rebel against. I’m quite lucky.
