On Mixing Old Customs With New Ideals
At Watson’s recent HeforShe Q&A, she shared some very crucial words regarding chivalry and how she believes it should be reciprocal: ”I love having the door opened for me. I love being taken to dinner, it’s so great. I think the key is: would you then mind if I opened the door for you?”
On Relationships & Fame
“I don’t date people who are famous, I don’t think it’s fair that, all of a sudden, intimate details of their personal life are public as a direct result of me. I wish I could protect them,” she told Elle Australia.
On The Importance Of Your Relationship With Yourself
“It sounds like a cliché but I also learnt that you’re not going to fall for the right person until you really love yourself and feel good about how you are,” said Watson to The Telegraph.
On Attractive Qualities In A Significant Other
Glamour UK quoted Watson as saying, “I like men with quick wit, good conversation and a great sense of humor. I love banter. I want a man to like me for me — I want him to be authentic.”
On How Romance Is Lacking In Millennials' Lives
“I’m a feminist, but I think that romance has been taken away a bit for my generation. I think what people connect with in novels is this idea of an overpowering, encompassing love — and it being more important and special than anything and everything else. I would love to not date someone in the same industry as me. Otherwise it becomes what it means to everyone else,” Watson lamented to Vogue in 2011.
On The Best Advice She's Heard
“‘You accept the love that you think you deserve.’ I wish someone had told me at 15. I would have approached my relationships completely differently if they had,” The Mirror reports Watson saying in relation to The Perks of Being a Wallflower’s tagline.
On Dealing With Love Realistically
Also according to The Mirror, Watson said, “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 realize it shouldn’t be that way and you get to choose who you love and who you give your heart to.”
