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

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?!'"
