Hathaway changed mindset about mingling with fans

Actor Anne Hathaway said she was averse to obliging her admirers with photographs but has changed her mindset over time.

The 34-year-old Oscar-winning actor said she has grown up as an artiste and hopes she did not hurt anyone in the past due to her behaviour, reported The Independent.

"I hope I wasn't a jerk to anybody, but in my head I was a jerk to people – a lot, for a period of time. And I just woke up one day and I just became so deeply flattered by it and saw it for what it is: it's just somebody giving you some of their energy in a nice way.

"I don't know if it's motherhood or just growing up a little bit but people's time matters, you can do whatever you want with it and if you choose to give it to me, either by watching my movies or in this moment by telling me I make you feel good – holy shit, that's amazing!," Hathaway tells Marc Maron's WTF podcast.

In a casual but candid chat, Maron and Hathaway also discussed relationships, being low down the list of choices for The Devil Wears Prada and her new film, Colossal.
