LOS ANGELES: Actor Emma Watson said she doesn’t want to draw a line between her public and private life and her idea is to just be herself.

“I’m my most authentic self. I don’t want there to be a big separation between the public and the private life. It’s definitely the harder road to walk but without a doubt, ultimately the most rewarding,” said the Noah actor.

“It sounds like a ridiculous thing to say, but I’m very interested in the truth and searching for ways to be messy, unsure, flawed, incredible, great and my fullest self, all wrapped into one. When you watch the work of someone like actor Emma Thompson, you feel like you’re seeing something true, and I aspire to be that,” Watson stated.

After having spent so long working on her Harry Potter character, Hermione Granger, Watson did not get to figure out who she really was until now.

“I’ve spent more than half of my life pretending to be someone else. While my contemporaries were dyeing their hair and figuring out who they were, I was figuring out who Hermione was and how best to portray her,” she told Porter Magazine, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

“Now at 25, for the first time in my life, I feel like I have a sense of self that I’m comfortable with. I actually do have things that I want to say and I want to be my most authentic self,” Watson added.
