“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. these things are so irrelevant and surface to what it is all really about, and i wish people wouldn’t get caught up in that. we want to empower women to do exactly what they want, to be true to themselves, to have the opportunities to develop.”
“There is certainly a big part of conditioning in society that still very much tells women that the most important thing is their appearance and their bodies and how they look. That’s a very, very strong message. I’m someone who is lucky enough to have gone to school and university. At times, I have just felt so irritated because what ultimately seemed like the most important thing was how I looked. I just thought, ‘Why do I bother?’. It’s changing, and I think women are learning to be valued for what they’re saying, doing and thinking, for who they are. But there’s still some strong messages saying what really matters is how you look in a bikini.” —Emma Watson

“I think it is right I am paid the same as my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should make decisions about my own body. I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decisions that affect my life. I think it is right that socially, I am afforded the same respect as men.”
“I didn’t take anything. Please. I didn’t take anything.”
“Books gave me a way to connect with my father, some of my most precious and treasured moments…I just remember him reading to me before bed and how he used to do all the different voices. I grew up on film sets, and books were my connection to the outside world. They were my connection to my friends back at school because if I was reading what they were reading we’d have something in common. Later in life, they became an escape, a means of empowerment, a friend I could rely on.” - Emma Watson
Besides, if anyone cares to notice, my eyebrows have completely grown back!
