“I have loved Beauty and the Beast since I was about 4 years old. The movie came out the year I was born, in 1990. I just fell in love with Belle. She was this feisty young woman, who spoke her mind, had all of these ambitions, was incredibly independent, wants to see the world and was so smart. And I loved how she had this relationship with Beast which is toe to toe. For me, it just seemed like a dynamic and interesting kind of relationship that I had never seen before in a fairytale. I was just enamored with the whole thing. I was just so in love.” — Emma talking about Beauty and the Beast
