"I think skinny models look ugly."
The "Harry Potter"-Star talked with InTouch about friends, tasty food and crazy fashion.
Pretty, young and a big mouth! Emma Watson got famous as Hermione in "Harry Potter". "My greatest challenge is now to find other roles", she says. And to cope with being a star...
How does it feel to grow up in the media?
Strange. I worked so hard and didn't have any time to be a rebellious teenager. I think everything will break out of me when I turn 30.
Do you still have friends of the time before you've turned famous?
No, they hate me because of my career and the money. (laughs) Just kidding! Of course I have old friends and sometimes it's confusing for them if people recognise me. They don't know how to react in such situations. Some of them try to protect me. That's so cute...
Do they sometimes want you to pay for things?
(laughs) No, it would be embarrassing for them! I often want to invite them for dinner but they always want to pay fifty-fifty.
Your fans adore you for your great sense of fashion. You are a trendsetter by now. How would you describe your style?
I call it London-style. It's often foul weather there. That longs for a slightly crazy but deliberate style. I mix street-style with designer and vintage clothes. My mother taught me much, she knows nearly everything about fashion.
Do you like Kate Moss' style?
Yes, she always looks stunning. Her style is her identification and reflects totally her character. She doesn't even have a stylist, she chooses everything on her own. That's the reason everybody likes her. In the US nearly every celebrity has a stylist. They loose their connection to their clothes and to reality. The clothes reflect another person. That's stupid.
You are travelling much because of your job. You even know Karl Lagerfeld...
Yes, he's great. I adore him and I did many things for Chanel. I love this brand.
Did he give you hints?
Yes. As I met him, I immediately knew why he was on top of the fashion world. And if he gives you a hint, you should better listen carefully.
Also to the matter of your shape? Especially in this branch you have to be really thin. And you love Fast Food...
Yes, that's right. I think being totally skinny isn't pretty at all. I am able to maintain my weight without focusing too much on my nutrition. I'm very lucky in that matter.
What do you like most?
Chocolate! But I love in general tasty food. I cook myself, settle in and try new dishes. I could never quit that. Therefore I would never be anorexic.
Right quote
"Please don't send me bibles anymore", begs Emma. A while she got all the time some per mail. The pious sender thought she went astray as a witch. "The Japanese Fan who sent me dressing material because of my injury in "The Prisoner of Azkaban" was really cute", she smiles.
Left quote
Her character Hermione cut her hand. A worried fan sent her dressing material.

"It's great to be part of the team of ‘Harry Potter'. Just by shaking their hands I can make little boys and girls happy", says Emma.

"It's totally crazy that there exist dolls of me. All over the girls toddlers bite off my head."

"It would be hilarious to win an Oscar. But I think, it would mean more to me later if I'm married happily."

"When I watch old films of ‘Harry Potter', it's like looking at old photos of me as a baby. My goodness, I looked like a squirrel."
