Emma Watson wants to be a strong role model
July 13th, 2011 - 2:07 am ICT by IANSLondon, July 13 (IANS) Actress Emma Watson wants to be remembered as strong role model for young girls, rather than just being called as pretty and polite.
“I feel like young girls are told they have to be this kind of princess and be all this sweet stuff,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted Watson as saying.
“It’s all bull***t. I identify with more of being a warrior princess, so if I had to be a princess, I’d have to kick some ass first. That would have a lot of people terrified,” she added.
The 21-year-old, who plays Hermione Granger in the “Harry Potter” franchise admits her attitude has developed through playing the strong character for over 10 years.
“I’m terrified of getting into trouble. I’m very heady in the same way that she is, kind of constantly thinking three or four moves ahead. I try to intellectualise a lot, which she does well. She’s very determined. I am as well. I feel so much of me went into her and so much of her went into me that I can’t really differentiate too much anymore,” she said.
