About Hermione (2005): "It feels sometimes I don't really have to act anymore, as I'm so close to her and know her so well. And there's so much of me in her, and her in me that, it feels I'm barely doing anything sometimes. So, I think it's been wonderful and I'm very fond of Hermione's character and I think that she's turned into someone that a lot of people can identify with and I think she's a great role model."
