If there is anything to say about Emma Watson, it’s that she is much more than Hermione Granger. This past year, she became the UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, delivered moving speeches about gender equality, and consistently shared with us her refreshing outlook on life. Below is a list of ten times when Emma Watson absolutely slayed it.

When she motivated us to always try our best: “I really believe that you have to earn things. I don’t feel comfortable unless I have worked really hard.”

When she reminded us that people-pleasing is a waste of time: “All I can do is follow my instincts because I’ll never please everyone.”

When she gave us the truest relationship advice: “Chivalry should be consensual.”

When she seamlessly summed up our childhood music taste: “Genie in a Bottle…What a tune.”

When she encouraged self love: “I want to be the person who feels great in her body and say that she loves it and doesn’t want to change anything.”

When she was the perfect role model for our little sisters: “I feel like young girls are told this while idea that they have to be this kind of princess and be all delicate and fragile, and that’s bull****. I identify much more with being a warrior—a fighter. If I were going to be a princess, I’d be a warrior princess. Definitely.”

When she defended her pixie cut to men: “If I had it my way, I would have just kept it short forever. Of course, men like long hair. There’s no two ways about it. The majority of the boys around me were like, ‘Why did you ever do that? That’s such an error.’ And I was like, ‘Well, honestly, I don’t really care what you think!’ I’ve never felt so confident as I did with short hair—I feel really good in my own skin.”
