"Celebrity is the hardest part of what I do. You just hope that people look past the hype and see you."

“You could imagine her as one of the Kardashians. It was hilarious because it’s so far from what I know. So for me to wear Ugg boots and matching tracksuits was just so much fun. I had to learn to pole-dance! But the film isn’t a comedy, and more than anything I had to find a way to relate to my character. I couldn’t just laugh at her; she had to be real and have real feelings and intentions and motives.” [Emma Watson on her role as Nicki]

“I look back at all the work I’ve done over the last 14 years and many things come to mind. Most importantly, how bad my hair was in the first ‘Harry Potter’ film. The cool thing is you’ve supported me in all my awkwardness and allowed me to grow into the kind of actress and kind of person I hope to be. So thank you for that very much. Becoming yourself is really hard and confusing, and it’s a process. I was the girl in the front of the class who was the first person to put her hand up. It’s often not cool to be the person who puts herself out there, but I found that ultimately, if you truly pour your heart into what you believe in, amazing things can and will happen.” - Emma Watson, on winning the Trailblazer Award at the MTV Movie Awards (‘April 14)
