As a younger woman, that pressure got me down, but I've made my peace with it. With airbrushing and digital manipulation, fashion can project an unobtainable image that's dangerously unhealthy. I'm excited about the ageing process. I'm more interested in women who aren't perfect. They're more compelling.
Feminism is equality: politically; culturally; socially; economically. That's it, that simple.
Gender equality, historically has been predominantly a women's movement for women. But I think the impact of gender inequality and how it's affecting men hasn't really been addressed.
People associate feminism with hate - with man hate - and that's really negative. I don't think that's what feminism is about at all - it's really positive. I think that's why women became reluctant to use the word.
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'm so close to her that I feel that I don't have to act any more. It seems like I'm barely doing anything sometimes. She turned into someone that a lot of people can identify with. She's a great role model.
I look OK and it becomes that amazing transformation which it really is for Hermione.
I loved doing it because I can relate to what she goes through. I so know that frustration where guys can be so insensitive....Hermione is so insecure about herself and she's never really had any attention from a guy before that when she sees Viktor looking at her it's like, 'Is that guy really looking at me?' ... She does not know what's happening to her and she gets caught up in this whirlwind.
There has been a lot of speculation abut whether we're going to outgrow our parts but it works out really well because each one takes about a year.
For goodness sake, Hermione and Ron just need to get it together! It's just been so long now!
It's absolutely amazing. I just can't believe it.
The only way I could tell the story was to intensify it, and shed anything that didn't serve that, ... It all flows very well, so you kind of forget what is actually missing.
Let's be honest, I have enough money to never have to work again.
I'm a very heady person; I'm in my head a lot.
