↳ “I don’t consider myself to be a celebrity. I don’t fit that mould. I worry that people have expectations of me being someone I’m not. I’m just finding myself and trying to live as normally as possible and be as normal as possible.”

↳ “From a young age, I didn’t really want to follow the crowds, even if that made me unpopular or not cool. I mean, I probably should try a lot harder to pretend to be cool, but I’m really not. It’s too much effort for me to try to be aloof and angsty. I’d rather just get on with it and be myself and be nice.”

↳ “ [On Goblet of Fire] Our director Mike Newell. He brought all of the actors together and asked us to improvise love scenes. I was appalled. I was so humiliated, but then I saw that everyone else made a fool of themselves. Now I am not afraid to make a fool of myself.”

↳ “With short hair you’ve got to be a bit bolder, there’s nothing to hide behind. So it’s made me be bolder in my fashion choices. It’s actually made me more confident as a person I think. I’m not sure why that is. But it has.”

↳ [on Hermione] “I’ve been denying that I’m anything like her, but I’ve come to terms with the fact that we’re really quite similar. As the film goes on, the comparison is a big compliment. She stands for girl power; she won’t let anyone mess her around; she’s got two guys for best friends, but still holds her own. I love that she’s intelligent and proud of that fact; she’s determined; she never gives up; she’s loyal; she stands up for her friends. I think she’s kickass.”
