I think when I was younger I wasn't really sure if I wanted to act, so I played around with a few different ideas. I wasn't sure whether I might want to write or whether I might want to do something in fashion.
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.
I've never understood having crushes on people who you don't know in real life.
I was very keen. I was super-eager to please and be good. And I was always kind of bossy.
I have to really enjoy the good things because it makes the bad things OK.
I don't know, I'd love to try some theater. That's my other thing. I'd love to do some Shakespeare.
I don't consider myself to be a celebrity. I don't fit that mould.
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've always been like that; I give 100 percent. I can't do it any other way.
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.
For goodness sake, Hermione and Ron just need to get it together! It's just been so long now!
I'm not obsessed with books, I'm not obsessed with school and homework, and I'm not obsessed with not getting into trouble.
Umm, there are so many people that I've never had one person that I've particularly idolised or I thought "Wow, I want to be just like them". It used to be when I was younger, Julia Roberts, I used to just love her. There is something so appealing about her.
People say things to me like, 'It's really cool that you don't go out and get drunk all the time and go to clubs.' I appreciate that, but I'm kind of an introverted kind of person just by nature.
