“I just do normal stuff. I’ve always exercised. I go to the cinema a lot. I live close to my dad, and my brother Alex, who is three years younger than me, is round the corner. Friends come to me house, I go to theirs. I’ve spent so much time away that maintaining friendships is something I feel really proud of.

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)
