Watson: "I do things in my own way, but I've never felt any need to rebel."

Watson: “I feel uncomfortable taking up as much space as I’m taking up and not speaking about [politics and social justice].”

Watson: “I understand fearing what you don’t know, but go and learn. Making people feel not included is… is just such a painful, awful thing to do, and it has such big effects.”

Watson: "I've probably earned the right to screw up a few times. I don't want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about."

Watson: "I think women are scared of feeling powerful and strong and brave sometimes."

Watson: "I'm a feminist, but I think that romance has been taken away a bit for my generation. I think what people connect with in novels is this idea of an overpowering, encompassing love - and it being more important and special than anything and everything else."

Watson: "I'm a perfectionist, so my bossiness definitely comes out."

Watson: "Jodie Foster did it, Natalie Portman did it. I think it's entirely possible to juggle university with filming... I actually think going to university will make me a better actress. The experience of living like that, working to deadlines, living with other students. It's all the things I want. There are actresses who don't know about things like doing their own laundry and getting a bus. I'm not going to be like that. For me, this is just the beginning. I've only shown a little bit of what I can do. There is so much more to come."

Watson: “It’s good that we’re spreading a little bit of love.”

Watson: "But sometimes I've felt a little constrained by that idea of who I'm meant to be."

Watson: “I need to be connected to, you know, people that are sharing the ‘I didn’t sleep last night either’ conversation, and so creating space and bringing groups of people together has been such a balm for me in the last six months.”

Watson: "I want to be normal. I really want anonymity."

Watson: “I grew up on film sets, and books were my connection to the outside world. They were my connection to my friends back at school because if I was reading what they were reading we’d have something in common.”

Watson: “I’ve often thought, I’m so wrong for this job because I’m too serious.”

Watson: “Even people that are really close to me sometimes can’t let it go. Or see just me. And then sometimes I have to go, ‘No, no – I need exactly what you need. I’m just as human as you are. I’m just as insecure as you are. I struggle just as much as you struggle.’”

Watson: "To be honest, I've always had far too much freedom. I had a job when I was 10. I started living on my own when I was 17 or 18. I've earned my own money; I've traveled the world. What would I rebel against? I've had so much freedom, sometimes it was hard."

Watson: "I'm a multidimensional person and that's the freedom of fashion: that you're able to reinvent yourself through how you dress and how you cut your hair or whatever."

Watson: "I think our fears find us and force us to confront them over and over again."

Watson: "I used to look back at pictures and cringe but actually I'm quite proud that I've had fun with fashion and don't always look perfect. The only regret I have is when I look at something I wore when I was very young and it obviously looks like it belonged to someone else."

Watson: "But it's a journey and the sad thing is you only learn from experience, so as much as someone can tell you things, you have to go out there and make your own mistakes in order to learn."

Watson: "I feel like young girls are told, I don’t know, that they have to be this kind of princess and fragile. It’s bullsh*t. I identify much more with being a warrior, a fighter. If I was going to be a princess I’d be a warrior princess definitely."

Watson: "I don't want other people to decide who I am. I want to decide that for myself."

Watson: "My parents wanted to protect me, but they had no idea how to. I had to learn as I went and make my own mistakes. I went from being totally unknown and never acting professionally to being in a major movie and being very famous. It all happened so quickly, I didn't have any time to work things out. It's been pretty scary at times."

Watson: "The difficulty for me is that I'm interested in so many different things. I could never really imagine myself doing one thing, and I'm pretty sure that I'll end up doing four or five different things."

Watson: "Really I was open-minded about doing anything, but the one thing I didn't want to do was get myself into a corset, because I was worried I'd never get out again."

Watson: "If you believe in equality, you're a feminist. Sorry to tell you."

Watson: "Becoming yourself is really hard and confusing, and it's a process. I was completely the eager beaver in school, I was the girl in the front of the class who was the first person to put her hand up, and it's often not cool to be the person that puts themself out there, and I've often gotten teased mercilessly, but I found that ultimately if you truly pour your heart into what you believe in - even if it makes you vulnerable - amazing things can and will happen."

Watson: "If you want to run for Prime Minister, you can. If you don't, that's wonderful, too. Shave your armpits, don't shave them, wear flats one day, heels the next. These things are so irrelevant and surface to what it is all really about, and I wish people wouldn't get caught up in that."

Watson: "If men don’t have to be aggressive in order to be accepted, women won’t feel compelled to be submissive. If men don’t have to control, women won’t have to be controlled."

Watson: "I don't want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about."

Watson: "[Like Hermione] I'm terrified of getting into trouble. I'm very heady in the same way that she is. ... She's very determined. I am as well."

Watson: "Don't feel stupid if you don't like what everyone else pretends to love."

Watson: "I keep telling myself that I'm a human being, an imperfect human being who's not made to look like a doll, and that who I am as a person is more important than whether at that moment I have a nice figure."

Watson: "We really damage our own confidence when we put ourselves down, so I try not to."
