Anne Hathaway considers acting to be an "unusual" job.
The 42-year-old actress loves being able to "go back and forth" between big-budget Hollywood movies and independent films.
The Oscar-winning star told WWD: "It’s such an unusual job that you sign up for, and I’ve never felt like I’ve - perhaps some people who only make billion-grossing movies can feel this way, but if you love independent cinema as much as I do, you’re always grateful for the jobs that keep the lights on and being able to go back and forth between the two of them."
Anne admits that she "didn’t have any confidence" in her 20s. But the brunette beauty has experienced "so much growth" over the last 20 years.
She reflected: "I just didn’t have any confidence. And I think that there’s been so much growth. There’s been so much character development that’s happened since then for me in all aspects of my life."
In November, Anne took to social media to thank her followers for giving her "the help and space to grow".
The acclaimed actress turned 42 on November 12, and Anne took to social media to celebrate the landmark occasion.
The Hollywood star wrote on Instagram at the time: "[cake emoji] To every mindful, demure person here (all of you of course): thank you for the gift that was 41!!!!
"And to everyone who has ever shown me grace: thank you so much for the help and space to grow [stars emojis]
"Hope to see you on a dance floor soon! [heart emoji] (sic)"
Anne's caption was accompanied by a video that showed the actress waving from her bed. The video also featured some highlight moments from the previous 12 months, including her appearance on Drew Barrymore's TV talk-show, as well as throwback clips from film festivals and movie premieres.
