Good girl or bad girl; both sides of Emma Watson magically appear on the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK.

In the issue, Watson reveals her feelings about L.A., the fashion industry and how uneasy she is trying to be the bad girl.

On not wanting to live in Los Angeles: “LA scares the crap out of me. I feel if I have to work out four hours a day, and count the calories of everything I put in my mouth, and have Botox at 22, and obsess about how I look the whole time, I will go mad, I will absolutely lose it.”

On the fashion industry and it’s inherent meanness: “It can be savage and cruel, in that it’s prescriptive — you have to look a certain way and fit a certain mould — but also in the way it’s made.”

On why cheap clothing isn’t great: “When I went out to Bangladesh, to a factory where the clothes are made [for mass-market labels], it was horrifying. There is a cost to cheap clothes — if people could see the inhumane way they’re made, they would never in a million years buy them…”

On not being the bad girl: “My acting tutor said the hardest thing for me was to get angry. I almost broke down in tears when they tried to get me to be angry. I said, “I can’t do it, I just can’t do it.” I keep all of that really bottled up somewhere and I feel unleashing it would be the scariest thing – and to let myself be powerful, sexy, all those things, it’s scary for me. [Even playing the bad girl in this shoot] felt a bit uncomfortable and awkward, it didn’t come naturally at all.”

Watson will next be seen on screen in the final HP film. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 hits theaters July 15th.

She just wrapped filming on The Perks of Being A Wallflower with Logan Lerman and Nina Dobrev. That film is due in 2012.
