Anne Hathaway: Princess Bride to Princess Edgy

Anne Hathaway private life has played out in the tabloids like a serialized melodrama — The Princess Diaries gone horribly wrong. Entertainment Weekly has a great cover feature with 25-year-old actress–here’s a few snippets:

On keeping her life low-key: ”You know those girls that, like, go out? ‘I’m just not confident enough to do that. I’m not the sort of girl that will throw on a short skirt and tease her hair up. I feel uncomfortable with attention. Truly, I am a wallflower by nature… Obviously… this summer was a little different.”

On feeling artistically free on the set of The Devil Wears Prada with costar thespian heavyweights Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci: I was motivated more by stress than I was by creativity. I didn’t want to fail. But the whole Devil Wears Prada gang raised my understanding of what it is to be a great actor. They were just operating on another level than I ever had. I was inspired to throw caution to the wind because that’s what I saw them doing.”
