  • Watson on Nude Roles and Sexuality

    Watson told a British magazine in February 2009 that though she would consider taking a role with nudity if it made sense and enriched the role, the 18-year-old actress says she is actually "embarrassed" with the idea of being sexy. Watson expressed similar idea about wearing revealing clothes, "What's sexy about saying, 'I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt … have a look at everything I've got'? My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder."People: Being Sexy Embarrasses... (February 2, 2009)

  • Quote

    "I felt really sorry for (her character, Princess Pea). She says that 'One day, my prince will come,' and it was really sweet that her prince came in the form of this goofy mouse with these enormous ears...I was genuinely interested to see how they (animated) it. I was always asking questions."—discussing The Tale of DespareauxUSA Today: Watson Brings a Little Magic to 'Potter,' 'Despereaux' Roles (December 17, 2008)
