Some Quotes:

[on acting] “I wouldn’t want to be in a film because I’m Asian. I want to get respect as an actress.”
(would she want to be on a website because she’s Asian? Or just want respect as a woman? ;-))

[on hate sites regarding her and her role in Harry Potter] “This kind of stuff is inevitable because Dan has so many female fans – millions of them – so I’m nor surprised some of them don’t like me.”
(well, now we have a fan-post which may lead to millions of male fans! ;-))
