Stunning: Emma Watson has revealed she is her 'own worst critic' as she covers Marie Claire February issue
Opening up about desire to not take things easy, Emma told the publication that her upbringing has had a major impact on the way she lives her life.
She said: 'My parents have very strong work ethics and have instilled that in me; a love and respect for what you do and taking pride in it.
'And then – and this is sort of irritating at times – I’m a bit OCD about perfectionism.
'I’m my own worst critic. I think that’s really hard, but it also spurs me on. I always want to do better. I’m always striving towards the next thing.'

Showcasing her ability to rock the biker chic trend, Emma stands confidently in a pair of black distressed shorts, a vest top and a cropped sequinned jacket as she cuts a stunning figure.
Completing her look with a coating of dark pastel red lipstick, dark eye make-up, and several pieces of jewellery the Harry Potter star wears her hair in a loose bun styled in a side parting.
In the interview Watson admitted that now she's older she's a lot more confident in herself: 'Now I feel a lot more settled in who I am and what I think and how I want to do things.
'And because I feel good about what I am doing, I don’t need anyone else to say whether they think it’s good or not.
Emma continued: 'I think that comes with age, which is nice.'

Watson who was born in Paris but moved to Oxfordshire at the age of five, also spoke about her love for France and baguettes.
She said: 'I always have the same New Year’s resolution: to speak French fluently.
'I get a huge wave of nostalgia when I come into the Gare du Nord.'
She added: 'There’s such an emphasis on culture, art and music? And I’ll do anything for a warm baguette.'
