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.
We are tapping into what the world wants: to be a part of change.
I don't have perfect teeth, I'm not stick thin. I want to be the person who feels great in her body and can say that she loves it and doesn't want to change anything.
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.
