In an interview with OK!, Emma Watson may have proven herself a rare starlet who is both unassuming and skeptical of her fame. Watson, 18, whose most famous role to date is as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movie franchise, has told OK! magazine that she’s not quite sure about the whole movie star thing and wants to go to college in the US next fall. One of her biggest concerns is that she is able maintain the normal lifestyle that her non-celebrity friends take for granted:

The 18-year-old admits she is unsure about life on the big screen and wants to be more like her friends.

She said: “If they’re going to the cinema, I go to the cinema. I try to live a regular life but it’s not always easy.”

Emma, who lives at home in Oxford with her mother and younger brother, admits she isn’t swayed by her movie-making millions.

She added: “Why would someone my age need this much money? Let’s face it, I don’t have any use for it.”

Emma talks about her ‘uncertain’ future in acting:

“It’s weird because I’ve always felt uncertain that acting is what I wanted to do, especially compared to Dan (Radcliffe) and Rupert (Grint). I think that’s because I was nine years old when I was given the part without even going to acting school. Just because this has happened to me doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right thing. I didn’t know I wanted to be an actress, they just found me out of nowhere. So it’s taken me a little while to work out that this was what I wanted to do – well, for now.’ I’ve come from a background of lawyers and academics. We didn’t watch films in our household. I mean, I had no idea who Maggie Smith or Gary Oldman or any of these people were. So I’m educating myself by watching more films and becoming very passionate about them. But it doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll be acting forever.”
