“I look back at all the work I’ve done over the last 14 years and many things come to mind. Most importantly, how bad my hair was in the first ‘Harry Potter’ film. But the cool thing is… you’ve supported me in all my awkwardness and allowed me to grow into the kind of actress and kind of person I hope to be. So thank you very much for that. Becoming yourself is really hard and confusing, and it’s a process. I was completely the eager beaver in school. I was the girl in the front of the class who was the first person to put her hand up. It’s often not cool to be the person who puts herself out there - and I’ve often gotten teased mercilessly - but I found that ultimately, if you truly pour your heart into what you believe in, amazing things can and will happen. I’m so honored to be receiving this and I promise to keep making the best work I can for all of you. Thank you so much! - Emma Watson, on winning the Trailblazer Award at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards (April 14)
I don’t want to look like everyone else. I don’t have perfect teeth, I’m not stick thin. I want to be the person who looks great in her body and can say that she doesn’t want to change anything.
