I find the whole concept of being 'sexy' embarrassing and confusing. If I do a photoshoot, people desperately want to change me—dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe.

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

Women share this planet fifty-fifty and they are underrepresented, their potential astonishingly untapped.

Women and girls have always faced hurdles. But that’s never stopped us. We’ve sacrificed, fought, campaigned, succeeded, been knocked back, and succeeded again. In a race for justice, we’ve leapt over countless obstacles to win our rights.

Young girls think they are princesses. Hermione also teaches that we have to also be warriors.

I want to avoid becoming too styled, too 'done' and too generic. You see people as they go through their career, and they just become more and more like everyone else. They start out with something individual about them, but it gets lost.

To be honest, I've always had far too much freedom. I had a job when I was 10. I started living on my own when I was 17 or 18. I've earned my own money; I've traveled the world. What would I rebel against?

I've probably earned the right to screw up a few times. I don't want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.

I mean, I have done scenes with animals, with owls, with bats, with cats, with special effects, with thespians, in the freezing cold, in the pouring rain, boiling hot; I've done press with every syndication, every country; I've done interviews with people dressed up as cows - there's honestly nothing that's gonna intimidate me!

Some days, for some reason, I can't go anywhere, and I'm like, 'That was a mistake,' and other days no one will even notice me.
