London: Actress Emma Watson, who is on a promotional spree for her latest film ‘The Bling Ring’, says she sometimes feels unnerved by her success and what it entails.
"It`s called the impostor syndrome. It`s almost like the better I do, the more my feeling of inadequacy actually increases, because I`m just going, `Any moment, someone`s going to find out I`m a total fraud, and that I don`t deserve any of what I`ve achieved. I can`t possibly live up to what everyone thinks I am and what everyone`s expectations of me are.
"It`s weird – sometimes success can be incredibly validating, but sometimes it can be incredibly unnerving and throw your balance off a bit, because you`re trying to reconcile how you feel about yourself with how the rest of the world perceives you," she said.
The 23-year-old also revealed how she loves to write, and hopes to publish her work one day, but feels that she would have to do so under a false name, reported Digital Spy.
"I paint and I draw and I write and I do other things too, and recently some people at school were asking if I`d ever publish any of my written work. But I almost feel like I would have to publish it under another name because there`s a definition of me out there that feels kind of stuck in the moment when it was formed. I was 15 or 16 then, and I`m now 23."
