Emma Watson loves living in the US - because she finds it a "fascinating" country.
Although the 'Harry Potter' actress has taken the country to her heart she insists she will always retain her European sensibilities.
Emma - who was born in Paris but moved to England when she was five when her parents divorced - added to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera: "I could say that I watch 'Girls' and I'd love to act with Lena Dunham, but I still feel European."
The 22-year-old star took a break from her studies in 2011 after 18 months to promote 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2' - the final movie in the franchise - and it's a decision Emma didn't take lightly.
She explained: "I hate having to leave my studies behind when I have to work, but I only have two real passions: books and cinema. Growing up is really harsh. Society nowadays makes young people ask themselves questions without really giving any answers. But facing difficulties makes you grow up as well."
