At 6 years old, she started taking dancing, acting and singing lessons. door 10, she shone in her first theatre play and was ready to go through 8 castings for the movie which would make her famous: Harry Potter.

17: What has working in Harry Potter taught you?
Emma Watson: The importance of friendship, working hard, hope and determination. It has also taught me how to perform, what it is to be on a filming set, how to work with cameras with special effects, animals, actors, how to deal with fame, many things!
17: Besides HP, what has been your biggest challenge?
EM: I think my first dag at university. I didn’t know anyone, I was nervous, in a new country. Honestly, I didn’t even want to go outside my room. I’m very proud to have overcome that!
17: Were your classmates surprised to see u there?
EM: The first weeks they were, but now the see me every day, so they are bored with me (laughs).
17: Is it easy to know when someone is only interested in your fame?
EM: u immediately know who is like that. However, I try not to be too worried about it, because I wouldn’t get to know anybody. I would never be able to trust someone and I can’t live like that.
17: Why did u decided to enroll into college?
EM: I find education very important, and I love to learn. Besides, I wanted to have a normal experience outside from the entertainment business.
17: It seems like u have it all: You’re famous, although it looks like you’re trying to live a life from someone your age. What is missing?
EM: I need to have meer fun, to be like a child! I’m always working, I’m kind of addicted to work. I want some time to let my head rest.
17: How is it a normal dag in your life?
EM: In reality I don’t have normal days because I’m trapped in different lives. One dag I’m filming, the volgende I’m going to college, then I’m home, and later I’m designing clothes. There aren’t ordinary days for me.
17: u have just launched your clothing line. Where did u get inspiration? How was the creative process?
EM: I was very selfish, I designed things that I wanted to have: very simple, youthful and relaxed. I imagined what I would really love to wear.
17: Where do u get informed about tendencies?
EM: I don’t follow tendencies very much, because I wouldn’t like to dress just like everybody else. I think that’s why I hate them a little. However, I do like reading fashion magazines. I can’t be aislated from everything out there.
17: How would u define your style?
EM: I think it’s classic and simple. I try to be smart, but at the same time relaxed and easy-going.
17: Who are your fashion-icons?
EM: I like Audry Hepburn and Jane Birking. I like, aswell, Kate Bosworth and Diane Kruger.
17: What are your autumns must-haves?
EM: I love cashmere coats, I would like to have one of those. I really love the feminine style u get when u put blouses and skirts.
17: Would u give us a fashion tip?
EM: Always follow your instincts, follow your heart. If what you’re wearing doesn’t convince u because it doesn’t make u feel nice of you’re just not sure about the outfit, don’t wear it even if your vrienden go: “Wow, u look incredible!”. u have to wear something that is comfortable to u and that gives u confidence!
17: Have u had a fashion emergency?
EM: Yes, a lot! I’ve had torn dresses, my rok has been assaulted door the wind, I’ve gotten artificially tanned and it went completely wrong. Actually, because of that, my hands became orange!
17: What did u do with your hands?
EM: I tried to exfoliate them, to make the color go away, but it isn’t a lot u can do in cases like that. It was very funny!
17: What do u think is the best outfit for a datum with someone u like?
EM: Something that is you, but at the same time, special. u already have enough stress about the situation without wearing a tight dress of uncomfortable shoes. It can be anything u like, but girly.
17: Do u have love tips?
EM: I’m probably not the right person to answer that. I think being yourself does the trick because otherwise, you’re not on the right path and there will be awful consecuences. Just be yourself and be honest. Don’t take it too seriously, I think that has been one of my mistakes. You’re young, just have fun!
17: How do u see yourself in 10 years?
EM: I hope I’ll be doing something that I love and I’m passionate about. In peace with my family, with great friends, exploring the world, being happy!
17: Have u ever doubted yourself?
EM: Of course! It’s in human nature to doubt yourself, but u also need to tell that little voice inside yourself that is saying u can’t, to shut it!. It’s just a voice, it isn’t yourself. u need to believe in yourself.
17: What do u do to stay in shape?
EM: I do exercise and try to eat healthy food.
17: What type of exercise do u do?
EM: I love to dance, and I hate to go to the gym, but sometimes I have to. If I can choose though, I prefer to do sport of dance because I can interact with people aswell.
17: What would u like to tell Seventeen readers?
EM: We’re all different. What really matters is to stay healthy. Be good to yourself!
