When I started dating, I had this kind of Romeo and Juliet, fateful, romantic idea about love. It was almost that you were a victim – that there was a lot of pain involved and that was how it should be. Shakespeare said the course of true love never did run smooth and I had a sense it had to be painful. It was such a revelation to realise it shouldn’t be that way and you get to choose who you love and who you give your heart to. - Emma Watson
I can’t talk about how other people perceive me, but growing up, my parents never told me I was beautiful. I never thought I was pretty. I was always the smart, nerdy one. People put you in boxes, and that was my box.
I’m a human being, imperfect human being.
“I probably should try a lot harder to pretend to be cool, but I’m really not. It’s too much effort for me.”
“Obviously I have insecurities and doubts. But I just have to do my best and be myself. And then hope that’s enough.” - Emma Watson
