World … remember that little talk we had about not believing everything written in the media?! — Emma Watson

I could be 100 years old and in my rocker, but I’ll still be very proud that I was part of the ‘Harry Potter’ films. — Emma Watson

I like to think of myself as an actress, I think of going through all of the films as my kind of film academy, the way that I’ve learnt. — Emma Watson
