Anne Hathaway has reflected on the start of her career when she was in hit movies like The Princess Diaries.

In those early days, the beauty was on edge all the time because she feared she might be doing something wrong she told the November issue of Elle.

‘In the beginning of my career, I was so worried about messing up that I missed a lot of great moments because I was so stressed out,’ the star told the publication.

And she is now mature enough to really enjoy the good moments.

‘I’m at a point in my life now where I know having a first time at something remarkable like that—it’s the only time it ever happens,’ she added.

And she touched on the backlash she received in 2013 for her Oscar acceptance speech for Les Miserables.

‘Being in a place where I could enjoy it felt like a really positive development… I have worked too hard on seeing myself with kinder eyes to give away my peace to those who haven’t found it for themselves yet,’ said the star tactfully.

‘So I do my best to not be afraid of what others might say and just focus on enjoying my life.’

Hathaway also said that she is grateful that she was so well received at Cannes this year.

And she also discussed working with Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett on the hit film Ocean’s 8 which was female driven.

‘We all got our hair and makeup done in the morning and then watched Hillary’s concession speech—and then cried, and then redid our hair and makeup, and then worked a 20-hour day. Because women are really tough.’

And she remembers looking around at all the women and wondering why this had not happened to her before.

‘Like, why has it taken this long into my career to have this many women on set?’ she said.

‘And then I remember having a distinct feeling: Oh, this is what it’s like to be a man in Hollywood. Wherever they go, they’re in a pack; there’s so much ease in this. And I just wanted more of it.

‘I thought, I have to make this an intention in my career. To work with other women and to create opportunities for as many women to work together.’
