Anne Hathaway

My feeling about growing up in New Jersey was, 'How come I'm not in New York?' That being said, I'm older and I have a better worldview now, and so I think I grew up in an incredibly privileged position. The town I grew up in is beautiful. I got a great education, and I'm very grateful for it. ”

I kind of got my big break with 'The Princess Diaries' and during the press rounds for that everyone asked me: 'Did you always want to be a princess growing up?' And the truth was, no I wanted to be Catwoman. ”

I've wanted to be a mother since I was 16, but I also just knew I wanted to have a career as well. ”

I believe I've always been a big believer in equality. No one has ever been able to tell me I couldn't do something because I was a girl. ”

On the scale of someone who's really laid-back about stuff and someone who worries a lot, I fall more towards the latter. ”

I'll wear my mom jeans in public that haven't been tailored 'just so' yet, just because they feel good. ”

I'm obsessed with Kate Middleton. Obsessed. I loved the Royal Wedding. I was so cynical going into it, and pseudo-political about the whole thing, but as soon as I saw her, I was utterly charmed. I'm just completely enchanted by Kate and William. ”

My whole M.O. in my 20s was being in as many different types of films as you can. Working with as many different types of directors as you can. I think, in part, that's what I wanted to do as an actor. ”

It takes a minute for me to let my guard down, but once I do and I get to know someone, I'm very open, very trusting. Some might say too trusting, because considering the amount of money that can be made from selling gossip, I could be very easily taken advantage of. ”

When I was a teenager, I would have tried anything that an actress I liked was doing to get thin. ”
