We announced yesterday that Emma Watson would be featured in the August issue of Elle UK magazine. Larger and new images from the issue have been released, as well as a few quotes from the actress about growing up in the spotlight.

Quote:

I'm not your classic public schoolgirl because I've been brought up in Watford.

"And I've met and worked with people from a million different backgrounds.

"You can't please everyone. And that's something that I'm learning."

On her public persona Emma had this to say:

Quote:

"I don't want other people to decide who I am. I want to decide that for myself.

"I want to avoid becoming too styled and too "done" and too generic.

"You see people as they go through their career and they just become more and more like everyone else.

"They start out with something individual about them but it gets lost.

"Natalie Portman is an exception. I'm in awe of how she's handled herself."

UPDATE: Emma's official site has updated with small shots of the full feature, which include new images of Emma. They can all be seen here:

If anyone has received the magazine and can scan Emma's article, please feel free to send it in!

UPDATE #2: A behind-the-scenes video from the shoot has been released and can be seen below;

Furthermore The Daily Mail has several new quotes from Emma's interview;

Quote:

‘I’m so excited. Living in London, it’s hard to be anonymous,' she told Elle magazine.

'But hopefully, on some campus somewhere, I’ll fade into the background a bit.'

Quote:

But she reveals: ‘I’m very aware that with Cambridge, people would find that interesting.

'Cambridge is so high profile in itself and then, on top of that, people don’t really go out in Cambridge because it’s so small, so I’ll be going out in London and then that’s just the same thing.

'I definitely am attracted to the States for that reason.’

Quote:

‘It’s going to sound dramatic, but I feel like it’s going to be my life over as I know it,' she said.

'My whole life has been about Harry Potter and then all of that will shut down and I don’t know what it will be like.

'I go to university in September – I’ll be doing bits and bobs at Christmas, but September feels like my cut-off point, the moment when I’ll really stop.’

Quote:

‘At the moment I feel like I need to go away and figure out what I want to do and be myself for a bit,’ she said.

‘Does that sound strange? I just want to take a step back from it and not rush into stuff.

'I need university to give me that break. People think because I’m going to university I’m never going to act again, but it’s actually me. I want to figure out how I feel about everything first. Maybe I’ll keep acting, maybe I won’t.

'I just want to find something where I feel I have to do this. Maybe that’ll happen when I read a script. It felt like that with Hermione. I want to feel like that again.’

UPDATE #3: We now have screencaps from the video which can be seen here;

Thanks to Adrianne!

UPDATE #4: More quotes from the interview have emerged, this time via the Press Association and Digital Spy;

Quote:

"My dad never told me how much money I was earning," said Emma, who took control of her movie fees when she turned 18 last year and went on a Coutts course to learn how to handle her finances.

She continued: "Then, when I hit 18, he was like, 'I want you to understand that your money isn't some kind of abstract concept. I want you to have a feel for what it's worth and what you can do with it.

"The truth is I'd just like to pretend that it (the money) doesn't exist. It's amazing how many children are aware from such a young age about money being important or supposedly impressive. Around the age of 13 or 14, kids used to come up to me and say, 'You the girl on Harry Potter? How much do you make?'"

Quote:

She added: "I really don’t have time to spend my money. Sometimes my bank manager calls me to say, 'You haven’t used your card in a while and now you’re using it - no-one’s stolen it have they?!'"

cherbear09 · 06-28-2009, 11:52 PM

STUNNING!! as always of course lol.. I agree with her about Natalie Portman! I think Emma will never just blend in with the rest

ginnyginnyPANTS · 06-28-2009, 11:53 PM

The Cover is...ehh
She has a weird look on her face.

LadyMary · 06-28-2009, 11:54 PM

So beautiful!

SmartyChristy · 06-29-2009, 12:00 AM

She is just so beautiful ! =)
I bet Dan and Rupe can't help but stare at her all day.

GinnyPotter7 · 06-29-2009, 12:04 AM

She always looks stunning but in the cover she looks...ehh.

laura-tonks · 06-29-2009, 12:06 AM

She always looks lovely but the poses and clothes are kind of unflattering...interesting interview though

Padfoot7 · 06-29-2009, 12:07 AM

Nice.

johnlocke06 · 06-29-2009, 12:09 AM

like the second pic. But the cover looks wierd imo. The shirt looks fake, like it was shopped on lol.

Ms_Nessa24 · 06-29-2009, 12:22 AM

It's nNt That I Don't like These Pictures...
I Just Feel the MakeUp Is A Little To Much For Emma's Beauty!

kwanyamapee · 06-29-2009, 12:37 AM

i love the second pic sexy^^

iwantorlando05 · 06-29-2009, 12:46 AM

Love Emma, she looks amazing!! That thing she's sitting on is so weird, but other than that I love these pics! She looks very edgy! And I agree Natalie Portman is awesome!

This is another excellent interview!! I wish I could buy this issue, but I'm not from the UK.

She's awesome! And her decision to go to college makes so much sense. She's been acting since she was 9 years old, so she definitely deserves the chance to try something new and see what else life offers! Love this photoshoot!

Lol @ her not spending money. Dan said the same thing. Rupert's the only one who spends his money.

messr.yrrah · 06-29-2009, 12:51 AM

i don't like the pics at all.. i think those kinds of poses don't suit her..

ronhermioneroc12 · 06-29-2009, 01:05 AM

Good for Emma wanting to be an individual-she doesnt want to be just another actress/entertainers. She wants to stand out- she is a smart girl by doing that.
