and now let’s turn to a young woman who
has chosen to lend her voice to this
very important solidarity movement she’s
a leading British actor an advocate for
gender equality in her own right she’s
been involved with the promotion of
girls education for several years ladies
and gentlemen please join me in
welcoming to this stage our co-host and
the UN women’s global goodwill
I’m Regis and she’s Kelly and welcome to
our show
jump up hit Emma let’s talk this is
Emma’s first time to new you it’s the
first time in America so what happened
when you learned you got the part that
must have been the thrill of your life
right yeah yeah it was I can believe it
what are the other kids say at school
why you why you ever watching Emma
Watson is in her mid-20s she’s in the
public eye because she’s made some films
but what she has to offer us is an
example of positive character traits
that have nothing really to do with the
cinema we may benefit from having her
example selectively in mind in relation
to many apparently distant matters first
and foremost Emma Watson is an example
of the virtue of dignity honor to be
joined by Malala yousufzai hello Malala
I know it’s quite hard to pin down what
we might mean by dignity probably
everyone wants more of this quality but
it feels odd to say so that’s because we
easily confuse dignity with a couple of
other things that we tend to be very
suspicious of coldness and standoffish
pride there’s a worry that if someone
has dignity they’re not going to be very
nice to be around but really dignity has
to do with being confident of one’s own
decency and fundamental soundness in
situations where there’s pressure to
lose this confidence and act otherwise
when participating in a TV chat show
Emma mixes easily with people who are at
times rather clownish or crass I
remember being devastated coming into
the studio and seeing another little
girl who had actually been in films
before and I was like oh I’m never never
going to get it she’s had previous
acting experience Massie Dame Judi Dench
is a bitch she can play young as well
you know she
but she doesn’t become like them and so
she can be a good sport and join in
without losing her natural honor she’s
not cold and hence is a good example to
have in mind of how to pull off without
strain a crucial everyday diplomatic
move how to get on well with all sorts
of people and yet still be yourself
we might tend to think that the great
lessons we need to learn from others are
complicated but a lesson is great
because it’s basic because we need it a
lot and so it will by definition look
quite simple when stated other than just
to say thank you so much for all of your
support emma is also good at gratitude
it would be understandable if a person
got sick of being labeled just one thing
potter girl and therefore turned against
being in the limelight becoming a bit
hollow or mechanical in acknowledging
the thing that had given them so much
but emma watson seems to be genuinely
understanding of the role that she has
to play for other people she will always
be especially for younger girls Hermione
she has to be Hermione just as Elizabeth
Windsor has to be the queen for people
even if she has moments of inward
frustration at having to be this
character in this way emma is like a
good parent
she knows the character is bigger than
her just as being mummy someone loving
kind and understanding is more important
than being recognized by your children
for being the fuller more complex more
ambivalent person you really are many
journals and Diaries you have going I
think I have 30 Emma is good too at
generosity she’s clever
that doesn’t humiliate people with the
fact she doesn’t go on chat shows and
talk about post-structuralism or the
early novels of George Eliot to her
academics specialisms not because she
couldn’t do that very well
but because it would be unkind
in fact her generosity is such that it
seems strange even to note these
possibilities I don’t believe for a
second that it’s both of your birthday
she beautifully evades even a hint
she might have loves and needs and
insights that would leave others bereft
and feeling abandoned by their old
friend from Hogwarts promised he’ll
write both in a similar way Emma is
casual in the way she dresses where she
shops and how she lives what does it
mean when she dresses down is she a
strange kind of fake a fake ordinary she
could afford a chauffeur she could have
bodyguards she could always look a
million dollars is cheetah’s playing at
being like us more likely she’s making a
point about how good it is to have an
ordinary life she wants something that
we already have in the Christian
tradition Jesus the Son of God and the
Prince of Heaven becomes a man he is
born to very ordinary parents he does
all the ordinary things he works it’s
tired feels lonely and this is imagined
as the consequence of love to love is to
want to share in the ordinary existence
of another person Watson looks at people
who are not glamorous not famous never
invited onto the red carpet and she says
implicitly I like how you do things
that’s very helpful indeed it’s
important for us to have people in mind
who have the option of opting out who
don’t have to live ordinary lives but
who actually freely choose everyday
things by so doing these people teachers
to appreciate a little more the things
which we love less than we should I am
inviting you to step forward to be seen
and to ask yourself if not me who if not
thank you very very much you
has chosen to lend her voice to this
very important solidarity movement she’s
