" Girls should never be afraid to be smart." - Emma Watson
" We
[women] have unbelievably high expectations of ourselves, when actually
we’re human beings and our bodies have a function." - Emma Watson
" We [women] really need to support each other, we really do. So, I guess I would say be brave enough to acknowledge that things are not there yet and support each other." - Emma Watson
" There’s
nothing interesting about looking perfect – you lose the point. You
want what you’re wearing to say something about you, about who you
are." - Emma Watson

probably earned the right to screw up a few times. I don't want the

" Don’t feel stupid if you don’t like what everyone else pretends to love " - Emma Watson

don’t have perfect teeth. I’m not stick thin. I want to be the person

feel like young girls are told that they have to be a princess and
fragile. It’s bullshit. I identify much more with being a warrior – a
fighter. If I was going to be a princess, I’d be a warrior princess." - Emma Watson
" I think the actresses who are really successful are the ones who are comfortable in their own skins and still look human. " - Emma Watson

" I don’t want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about." - Emma Watson
" With
airbrushing and digital manipulation, fashion can project an
unobtainable image that’s dangerously unhealthy. I’m excited about the

" It's not the word [feminism] that it's important. It's the idea and ambition behind it." - Emma Watson

" The saddest thing for a girl to do is to dumb herself down for a guy. " - Emma Watson

is not here to dictate to you. It’s not prescriptive, it’s not
dogmatic. All we are here to do is give you a choice. If you want to run
for Prime Minister, you can. If you don’t, that’s wonderful, too. Shave
your armpits, don’t shave them, wear flats one day, heels the next." - Emma Watson
