""I think it's such a violence, and it's such a cruelty on people - especially young people, I think, and especially women - to make them feel like they have no worth or like they haven't succeeded yet in life because they haven't forced to its culmination something that I just don't think can or should ever be forced," Watson said"
""I just didn't know myself well enough yet. I didn't have a clear enough idea of what my purpose, my vision, like how I was going to be of service. I didn't know where I really felt like I needed to be," Watson said"
""Like that sounds like a really negative answer, but I think that we're being pressured and forced into this thing that I believe is a kind of miracle.""
Emma Watson, 35, rejects the expectation that people should marry by a certain age and calls tying self-worth to marital status violent and cruel. She describes pressure to marry as the least romantic thing and says attempting marriage too early would have caused personal "carnage." Watson explains she lacked self-knowledge and clarity about purpose and service when younger. She emphasizes that pressuring people, especially young women, ignores the substantial work needed to build a lasting relationship and forces outcomes that cannot or should not be rushed.
