Emma Watson Talks Turning 30, Working With Meryl Streep, And Being Happily Single | British Vogue

Emma Watson was just nine when she was picked out of a line-up of would-be actors in her school gym to star in a film that would change her life in unimaginable ways. Twenty years on, her Hogwarts days far behind her, Watson is one of Britain’s most bankable stars - not to mention an influential activist lending her voice to causes like gender equality and sustainability.
Ahead of her return to the screen in this December’s Little Women, the actor sat down with fellow activist Paris Lees to reflect on her extraordinary journey so far. Watch the video to see Watson talk candidly about life in the spotlight, turning 30, and the thrill of working with Meryl.

That is so great reading how one person can inspire a member of the next generation, and this is exactly why Emma Watson is doing what she is doing, even though it's a great burden on her. She seems to be well aware that she is luckier than most but her's is still not an easy life, in ways most others can't relate to. That she feels the responsibility to use what she has for good is just a blessing for the rest of us. Because we need inspired future generations that want the best for all humankind, and all beings, so they can pass that insight to the next ones. Yola devam, kim tutar seni.

Do a good job, give to society and recieve in return. What she promotes (what i think she promotes) is something id consider to be obvious, but it seems like it is not. "She has enough money, so it doesnt hurt her" is kind of the argument against your claim, shed do it for the money. Anyway, why does beeing generous mean you have to get hurt? Your view on the world is pretty dark. Enlighten your world, read some books and be nice. PS I can recommend Harry Potter.

What about the actual biological women who don't want men in their bathrooms, for a variety of reasons, where is their space, how about their feelings of inclusion and safety?

Also, the interviewer asked meaningful questions, was calm and genuine with her, which i really appreciate because in today's world, many interviewers ask meaningless questions and mostly actors get irritated by them, but just don't show it. Both the women were so relaxed and raw in this interview, that's the reason why i like it so much.
