Hermione is so close to who I am as a person that I've never really had to research a role. I'm literally rediscovering what it means to be an actress.

Feminism is equality: politically; culturally; socially; economically. That's it, that simple.

I'm excited about the ageing process. I'm more interested in women who aren't perfect. They're more compelling.

Acting is telling the truth under imaginary circumstances. I cannot think of a worse way to describe acting. Also, I'm the worst liar ever.

Yes, I will put it out there - I will work for anyone for free if they're prepared to make their clothing Fair Trade and organic. It's really hard to get people interested in it.

I love painting and have a need to do it.

I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing.
