Hey, Vogue, it s Anne Hathaway.

I hear you have a few questions, so let s get to it.

I love going to Rome

because as soon as I land I just feel joy.

Any stress that I have or any worries

or anything I have that s like kind of just been

racing around my mind,

I just look at the history of the place

that you live with while you re there

and I just go, Oh, why am I sweating anything?

When I went to Ethiopia,

that was completely mind blowing.

At that time in my life,

I didn t know the world could be that beautiful.

Recently I went to Kyoto.

I just felt poetry everywhere I went.

I felt very peaceful.

I was there, there was no rushing.

So those are some of my favorites.

I mean, you can t go wrong with water.

If you have it and it s clean, you re very, very lucky.

So hydrate.

I also really love face sheets and eye patches.

The whole thing.

I am the type who does it on a plane.

Absolutely. I ve scared many a flight attendant.

[laughing]

You know I had my Shiseido on just before this interview.

Just like all the time. Whenever I can.

I m not big on holding things with regret.

My regrets are for like

if I ve been stressed and I let that impact someone else.

Like I save my regret for that.

But in terms of outfits, like whatever,

it s all fun, it s great.

And even if it s terrible, it s still kind of great.

I do regret when I show up at a place and I m overdressed.

There was this one time though,

I remember wearing an outfit

that I still think was very nice.

And I wound up on the worst dressed list.

I remember going to visit my grandmother

and she like saved all my press clippings

and she d cut out my worst dressed list.

See? Like even when it s terrible, it s great.

Oh, what s my number one comfort movie?

Blades of Glory.

The part at the end when they re chasing each other

but they re wearing skates, but on dry land.

It s like, the physical comedy makes me so happy.

But also like any Will Ferrell movie. Period.

But also that era Will Ferrell, Adam McKay.

Yes. Forever.

My favorite karaoke songs are 99 Luftballoons.

It s really fun.

Makes people happy. Makes me happy.

If you re having a night

where like you re feeling particularly on it,

you can attempt it in German

and usually there s no one around

to tell you that you re wrong.

So just kind of attack it with some cockiness.

What do I wear to feel confident?

Hmm. For me, confidence begins with gratitude.

Like if I m not connected to my gratitude,

my confidence will not show up.

I just have to say I m so lucky to be here.

Like, wow.

Just honestly all the way wow.

Knock, knock.

[Interviewer] Who s there?

Dwayne?

[Interviewer] Dwayne who?

Dwayne the tub. I m drowning.

[recording crew laughing]

[Anne laughing]

Can you tell I have kids?

Those are some great questions, Vogue.

Thank you so much and I ll see you next time.
