Emma Watson quotes about
My best friend Madison keeps a list on her phone of all of the different English slang that I say, so she has kind of like a translator so she can understand without having to ask me, "What on Earth are you talking about when you say 'nackered'?"
I had been doing something for more than half of my life that I wanted to continue doing - I really loved making the film and I really love acting and it is what I want to do.
I'm lucky that I've worked with so many different directors with very different styles and with a lot of different actors.
I've never really had any barrier to break I guess. I don't really have anything to rebel against. I'm quite lucky.
For an actor, it is better to play well (or even not so well) in a bad film, than to not play at all.
I already had the sense that I was someone who was more spiritual than specifically religious. ... I'm really interested in those things that are more far-reaching than culture, nationality, race, religion.
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.
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. I want to be a Renaissance woman. I want to paint, and I want to write, and I want to act, and I want to just do everything.
I didn't come from a background of films. I didn't even really ever watch films. The fact is, my parents weren't into that stuff, and neither was I.
I don't know, I'd love to try some theater. That's my other thing. I'd love to do some Shakespeare.
I have to really enjoy the good things because it makes the bad things OK.
I was very keen. I was super-eager to please and be good. And I was always kind of bossy.
I've never understood having crushes on people who you don't know in real life.
I don't want other people to decide who I am. I want to decide that for myself. I want to avoid becoming too styled and too 'done' and too generic. You see people as they go through their career, and they just become more and more like everyone else.
