I threw my 20th birthday party at Brown, and I didn't even have to say to anyone not to put pictures on Facebook. Not a single picture went up. That was when I knew I'd found a solid group of friends, and I felt like I belonged.

People don't really understand, but having people stare, and point, and take pictures, even if it is in a positive framework, is quite isolating; there's no two ways about it. You feel a little bit, you know, freakish.

I just feel like if I start opening the door to talking about my university experience, then people just kind of... own everything. There was a lot of stuff a couple of years ago saying that I was bullied at Brown and awful things like that, none of which were true.

But it's a journey and the sad thing is you only learn from experience, so as much as someone can tell you things, you have to go out there and make your own mistakes in order to learn.

It's amazing people get so detached from what they eat and what they wear. No one has any contact with how things are made that are put in their body and put in their mouths and I just find it alarming that no one questions it.

I'm not going to school just for the academics - I wanted to share ideas, to be around people who are passionate about learning.

I went from being totally unknown and never acting professionally to being in a major movie and being very famous. It all happened so quickly, I didn't have any time to work things out. It's been pretty scary at times.

I guess what really forms you as a person is what you do within your family to receive love or attention. In my family, what you had to do to receive attention was to have good conversation at the dinner table or for me to do well at school, and those were really my focuses because that was what was valued the most.

It sounds like a cliche but I also learnt that you're not going to fall for the right person until you really love yourself and feel good about how you are.

I've probably earned the right to screw up a few times. I don't want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.

I would love to persuade Christopher Bailey to get even just a section of Burberry that's, like, organic or free trade. I love him, he's a very good person and an amazing designer, and I have a lot of respect and time for him.

Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong_it is time that we all perceive gender on a spectrum not as two opposing sets of ideas.

Young girls are told you have to be the delicate princess. Hermione taught them that you can be the warrior.

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

I don__ have perfect teeth. I__ not stick thin. I want to be the person who feels great in her body and can say that she loves it and doesn__ want to change anything.

If you truly pour your heart into what you believe in, even if it makes you vulnerable, amazing things can and will happen.
