Emma Stone may seem like she has her shiz together, but the 23-year-old admits she suffers from anxiety and panic attacks.

So how does she deal? By baking up a storm, Stone revealed in a new interview with US Vogue.

Emma said she kept the crew of The Amazing Spider-Man stocked with sweet treats during filming in a bid to calm her nerves.

"I think I felt really out of control of my surroundings," she said. "I was just baking all the time. There were stacks of things in the kitchen that nobody could possibly go through.

"It seemed like it made me feel, if I put these in, I'll know what the outcome is ... I was overbaking."

Emma, who's dating her The Amazing Spider-Man co-star Andrew Garfield in real life, said acting and comedy helped her to overcome anxiety as a child.

"It gave me a sense of purpose. I wanted to make people laugh," she explained.

"Comedy was my sport. It taught me how to roll with the punches. Failure is the exact same as success when it comes to comedy because it just keeps coming. It never stops."
