Men think it's a women's word. But what it means is that you believe in equality, and if you stand for equality, then you're a feminist. Sorry to tell you. You're a feminist. You're a feminist. That's it.
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.
Don't feel stupid if you don't like what everyone else pretends to love.
I feel like young girls are told, I don’t know, that they have to be this kind of princess and fragile. It’s bullshit. 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.
My friends are all really nice about my fame, they're just curious really, they ask lots of questions.
I've had so many moments where seeing other women be fully and truly and authentically themselves, and express that, has given me permission. Once you see it happening, you're like, "Oh, I have permission to do that, too."
I'm going to do what I want to do. I'm going to be who I really am. I'm going to figure out what that is.
In terms of men I fancy, I think the actor James Franco is gorgeous. But I find it odd to be described as a sex symbol myself.
If I could wear any label forever it would be Burberry. It covers a huge span of stuff. You can't go wrong with a classic trench and a pair of jeans.
I'm going to be the most competitive birth-giver ever.
It was unbelievable seeing me as an action figure! In a few months, toddlers all around the country will be biting my head off!
Young girls are told you have to be the delicate princess. Hermione taught them that you can be the warrior.
IN MY NERVOUSNESS FOR THIS SPEECH AND MY MOMENTS OF DOUBT, I'VE TOLD MYSELF FIRMLY, 'IF NOT ME, WHO? IF NOT NOW, WHEN?'
I thought, If people are going to write about what I'm wearing, then I would wear young British designers who need the publicity.
