I wasn't one of those girls who always dreamed of being an actress. I went to a normal school and then these film auditioners turned up when I was nine. Then I just fell into this whirlwind. I had lots of times when I thought: 'Woah, woah, hang on - I'm not completely sure about this.' 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.

We really damage our own confidence when we put ourselves down, so I try not to.

Yeah, it was horrible! I mean really horrible. I felt incredibly awkward. It was not something I was [looking forward to]. I don't know, but it looked good. We somehow managed to make it look realistic. I was proud of myself that I managed to power through and be professional.

If anyone else played Hermione, it would actually kill me.

I don't know anything about American history or presidents. I don't know what tailgating is! I've never been to an Olive Garden!

I don't want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.

I do things in my own way, but I've never felt any need to rebel.
