New York, July 12: Harry Potter star Emma Watson has said that she wants to lead a normal life and get rid of the restrictions imposed on her due to her celebrity status.“It must appear super-glamorous, and there are certainly moments like this week when it is glamorous. But 90 percent of the time it`s not so glamorous. Maybe it`s just like the grass is always greener. But normal things just sound so appealing right now. Just normal stuff,” the New York Daily News quoted her as saying at a press conference for ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.’
The actress also said that she managed to live a regular life whenever there is no buzz of a Harry Potter film.
She added: Normally, in the middle of the year, when there`s not a "Harry Potter" film being released, if I walk outside with no makeup on ... I`m fine. I take the tube, I wait for buses. I live a normal life.
“I`m very uncompromising about that. There are people who are advising me, ‘It`s not safe, you shouldn`t be doing this.’... But I really struggle with the idea that I`m having my freedom taken away.
“I just can`t handle that. I`d much rather deal with a couple of people coming up to me and stopping me than just not going out anymore. I`d go insane - you just end up with a barrier between you and the real world. You`re not experiencing things firsthand. ...You`re bubble-wrapped.”
Watson is also excited about joining a university soon for further studies.
She exclaimed: “I think university, the college experience, just sounds so great. I just don`t want to miss out on it. I think it`s a great time to make friends. I think it`s a great time to figure out who you are and what you like.”
