There's something very addictive about people pleasing. It's a thought pattern and a habit that feels really, really good until it becomes desperate.

More quotes by Anne Hathaway
College is such a unique time because you're learning a little bit how to be an adult. You're learning how to take care of yourself without parental influence, and you're exposed to so many great minds. I feel like I didn't even know how to think until I got to college.
Anne Hathaway
There's no magic bullet there's no pill that you take that makes everything great and makes you happy all the time. I'm letting go of those expectations, and that's opening me up to moments of transcendent bliss. But I still feel the stress over 'Am I thin enough? Am I too thin? Is my body the right shape?'
Anne Hathaway
Because the world of this film begins and ends in the imagination of Tim Burton, you're not seeing a movie that's been shot on locations that you've seen a million times. Because this world has no rules, you're seeing so many different and separate brushstrokes and colors and characterizations somehow getting combined through Tim.
Anne Hathaway
I love working and I feel satisfied when I know I have literally given all the energy that I have. That being said, work is not my No. 1 priority. I don't think it can come at the expense of your family, your friends and your 'significant other' if you have one.
Anne Hathaway
I try to stay out of the spotlight as much as humanly possible, because I think that when actors, whether or not they've chosen it or it has been thrust upon them, are living very public lives, it affects your ability to get lost in their performances.
Anne Hathaway
Quite frankly, I didn't become an actor to become a movie star. I have never dreamed about being the most famous person on the planet. I just want to do really good work.
Anne Hathaway
I've always believed in people's capacity for goodness. I still believe that people are good. What I'm not so trusting about anymore is their relationship to their own goodness.
Anne Hathaway
Whether or not you agree with Ayn Rand - and I have certain issues with some of her beliefs - the woman can tell a story. I mean, the novel as an art form is just in full florid bloom in 'Atlas Shrugged.' It's an unbelievable story. The characters are so compelling, and what she's saying is mind-expanding.
Anne Hathaway
I'm not attempting to be a role model but I accept that roles I've played put me in that position. I don't feel a huge responsibility as an actress to put my young fan base first.
Anne Hathaway
I think relationships are work, but love is a gift.
Anne Hathaway
My mom (Kate McCauley) is an actress, so I guess she's the one that taught me it was a possibility. For as long as I can remember, I've always played make-believe ... It's something that I've always done, that I've always been comfortable doing.
Anne Hathaway
If young kids choose to have me as a role model...what I put out there is that it's not a perfect life and it's okay to make mistakes.
Anne Hathaway
My first job was baby-sitting. I had a great time because I love kids. Sometimes, when I'm having a bad day, I'm like: Oh, you know what? I'm going to chuck it in and become a kindergarten teacher!
Anne Hathaway
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.
Anne Hathaway
I loved Catwoman's sense of humor. I love how sly she is. I love how she, to use a cat metaphor, walks the fence and you don't know which side she's going to come down on. She's totally independent. And let's face it, she's badass.
Anne Hathaway
If you’re not someone who has a natural and effortless love for yourself, it’s hard to let go of your desire to please other people, and that’s really not an ingredient for a happy life.
Anne Hathaway
I'd always thought I was pretty healthy and I always thought I had worked hard in the gym and it turns out that what I thought was hard, in Catwoman's world, is actually light to moderate.
Anne Hathaway
I would never have gotten married if it weren't for him. You have to want to be married to someone. You have to feel that reciprocated. Marriage for marriage's sake doesn't make any sense to me, and I found someone with whom I could put my money where my mouth is, I guess.
Anne Hathaway
I think it is so much more fun to discover film in the movie theatre when there is so much anticipation about the movie.
Anne Hathaway
You cannot live your life to please others. The choice must be yours.
