I was nervous to deliver gender equality speech: Emma Watson

“I was very nervous. It wasn’t an easy thing for me to do. It felt like, ‘Am I going to have lunch with these people, or am I going to be eaten? Am I the lunch?’,” she said.     Watson said her celebrity status had affected her decision to become an activist.

“Fame is not something I have always felt comfortable with; I have really grappled with it emotionally. And, in a funny way, doing this is my way of making sense of the fame, of using it. I have found a way to channel it towards something else, which makes it so much more manageable for  me. And this is something I really believe in.”
