Anne Hathaway Feels Like She's In A "Glorified Acting Program

The Hollywood actress has starred in a string of box office smashes, including The Devil Wears Prada, Brokeback Mountain and Bride Wars.

She can soon be seen in Tim Burton’s new movie Alice in Wonderland, but admits she still feels like she’s learning the craft.

“Right now, I just feel like I’m in a glorified acting program,” she explained. “I get to learn drama from Meryl Streep, then I get to turn around and learn comedy from Steve Carrell. It’s kind of insane. Acting really, really is the only thing I’m interested in doing. Even if i was acting in a church basement theatre for the rest of my life, I would enjoy it.”

Anne never expected to be so successful, revealing she thought she would spend her days acting for fun while she earned money waiting tables at cafes.

She keeps grounded by spending as much time as possible with her friends, and still hangs out with people she met at college. They rarely go to nightclubs together, preferring to spend time in grubby bars or at each other’s houses.

“We either go to a dive bar and listen to classic rock, or we go to my friend’s house, who has a great stereo system, and do various iPod shuffles so we can get up and dance and drink wine,” she told Look magazine. “It’s down to earth, kooky and fun!”
