I looked at [Geena Davis] research and see things like 21 percent of filmmakers are women, only 31 percent of speaking roles in popular films are female - you start seeing it everywhere. It's so much bigger. So you've uncovered this groundbreaking data and research.
If I were in the director's chair, I would cast [Geena Davis] in something awesome every six months if I had the choice.
For goodness sake, Hermione and Ron just need to get it together! It's just been so long now!
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.
There's nothing wrong with being afraid. It's not the absence of fear, it's overcoming it. Sometimes you've got to blast through and have faith.
Originally what I used to love was being on a stage and reacting to a live audience and maybe my calling is more in theatre.
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.
I want to be normal. I really want anonymity.
If anyone else played Hermione, it would actually kill me.
I've never wanted to grow up too fast. I wanted to wear a sports bra until I was 22! ... The allure of being sexy never really held any excitement for me. I've never been in a terrible rush to be seen as a woman.
Becoming yourself is really hard and confusing, and it's a process. It's often not cool to be the person who puts themselves out there.
If I had it my way, I would have just kept it short forever. Of course, men like long hair. There's no two ways about it. The majority of the boys around me were like, 'Why did you do that? That's such an error.' And I was like, 'Well, honestly, I don't really care what you think!' I've never felt so confident as I did with short hair - I felt really good in my own skin.
Women share this planet 50/ 50 and they are underrepresented -- their potential astonishingly untapped.
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.
