Emma Watson's Idea of Sexy: Less Is More

Emma Watson took time out from filming part one of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to dish on everything from her parents to her college dreams to The Daily Mail.

Here’s what the 18-year-old actress said:

On her idea of sexy: “Personally, I don’t actually think it’s even that sexy. What’s sexy about saying, ‘I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt… have a look at everything I’ve got?’ My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder.”

On her latest birthday: “It was pretty tough turning 18. I realized that overnight I’d become fair game. I had a party in town and the pavements were just knee-deep with photographers trying to get a shot of me looking drunk, which wasn’t going to happen. I don’t have to drink to have a good time. The sickest part was when one photographer lay down on the floor to get a shot up my skirt.”

On her celebrity status: “I don’t consider myself to be a celebrity. I don’t fit that mold. I worry that people have expectations of me being someone I’m not. I’m just finding myself and trying to live as normally as possible and be as normal as possible. I’ve never seen a ‘good behavior’ clause (she refers to her reported Warner contract) �” I honestly think that’s a myth �” but I actually wouldn’t ever need one. It’s just not necessary. I’m not tempted by parties or drugs. I don’t actually like being drunk, particularly in public. But I do understand why people get sucked into a party lifestyle. I can see how it happens so I’d never criticize someone who gets into all that. It can get pretty tough. But you have choices in life. If I want to lead as private and as normal a life as possible I just can’t go there. So I don’t.”
