Emma Watson Finds It Hard To Deal With Scrutiny

Celebrated Hollywood Actress Emma Watson states that she is very concerned and careful about maintaining distance regarding her personal and professional life, because she often gets overwhelmed with the kind of attention she gets.

Watson also said that she has learned the importance of separating her personal life from that of professional life from the spotlight she received from a very early age while working in Harry Potter films; thanks to the character of Hermione Granger.

"Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and I were kids when we got cast in this fairy-tale series, and what happened to us was kind of a fantasy story in itself," said Emma Watson.

"So the story of my life has been of public interest, which is why I've been so passionate about having a private identity. When I step into a character, people have to be able to suspend their disbelief; they have to be able to divorce me from that girl." Watson added.

"And not having everyone know every single intimate detail of my entire life is part of me trying to protect my ability to do my job well." Said the actress.

Emma Watson also said that she is aware of the fact that she has been "under a different microscope, a certain level of scrutiny" and this is what she finds very tough to deal with.

"And sometimes the fear of doing things is overwhelming. I get incredibly overwhelmed, and sometimes feel hemmed in by that, afraid of that." Watson explained further.
