Emma Watson opened up about her break-up with Oxford rugby player Matt Janney and how she got through it in an interview for Vogue U.K.'s September issue. The "Harry Potter" actress revealed that she took a vow of silence to deal with the split, which she described as "horrendous."

"I felt really uncomfortable, even before my relationship ended," she said, Hollywood Life reported. "I went on a silent retreat, because I really wanted to figure out how to be at home with myself."

Emma spent the week at a private facility in the Rocky Mountains of Canada where residents are required to take a vow of silence.

Her previous relationships, including one with her college sweetheart Will Adamowicz, have generally made her feel "really cherished. They've built me up," said Watson, who plays Belle in Disney's highly anticipated live-action "Beauty and the Beast."

When asked about the difficulties of dating, and whether guys find her intimidating, she replied "I certainly haven't found that with doing all that I do or being all that I am, that I've struggled in my love life," according to People. "I just think it's very patronizing towards men. It undermines them."
