Anne had some interesting things to say in this month’s issue of Marie Claire:

On bursting into tears during Brokeback Mountain:

“Didn’t stop for an hour. And Kirsten Dunst, who was going out with Jake, was like two rows behind me, and [Jake’s sister] Maggie Gyllenhaal was right behind me, and we were all crying so hard; my boyfriend offered Maggie his hankerchief, and she was sharing it with Kirsten. And I’m thinking, That’s my boyfriend’s – can I have my Kleenex that you b-tches are using?”

On not being a prude:

“I love [the band] Peaches. When people are all like, ‘Do you think you have a squeaky-clean image?’ I’m like, ‘Could a squeaky-clean girl know all the lyrics to ‘Teaches of Peaches’? I mean, my favorite song is called ‘F—k the Pain Away.’”

On watching Brokeback Mountain for the first time at the Venice Film Festival:

“I’m not in the movie until, like, 45 minutes into, and I start to get sick to my stomach that I’m gonna be the one to f–k it up. So before I came on-screen, I run outside, because I can’t handle it.”

On her image:

“I’m not a walking one-woman drama show. I’m pretty bad entertainment – I’m not particularly well dressed, and I haven’t graduated from college. I think you should like Natalie Portman a lot more.”

On her nudity policy:

“I don’t actively search for [movies] that I can get naked in. It’s not the most fun requirement of the job, but nor is it something that I would ever NOT do a job because of. It is what it is. Some people choose not to do it on moral grounds; I think that’s a shoddy argument. I turned down another movie because it was going to show a vagina – not mine, but somebody else’s. And I didn’t believe that it was actually necessary to the story.”

I’ve liked Anne Hathaway since The Princess Diaries and fell in love with her after I saw Brokeback Mountain. To me, she’s this generation’s Julia Roberts. But I just lost some respect for her with that last comment.

First of all, she contradicted herself. She said she would never NOT do a movie because of the nudity, then she goes onto explain a situation in which she in fact did. The movie she’s referring to is Knocked Up, which I just saw recently and it was very good. I remember hearing a while back that Anne dropped out of the film and was replaced with Katherine Heigl, but there was never a reason stated as to why, though some speculated it may have been because of the frontal nudity.

I chose not to believe that rumor because it seemed so stupid to me that such a smart and talented actress would turn down a great role just because of some nudity–mostly because, as Anne herself said, the vagina was not hers. I actually think it was a prosthetic because in the film the vagina is shown as the baby is poking its head out.

Then Anne says she didn’t feel like it was necessary to the story, which is a really dumb thing to say. It’s a comedy. One of the friends thinks there’s something wrong because he hears Katherine Heigl’s character screaming, so he runs into the room even though everyone tells him not to, and when he does, he sees the baby’s head poking out of her vagina. It’s an absolutely hilarious scene, and it wasn’t gratuitous as all.

I’m sorry Anne, as much as I love you and your work, you just went down a notch on my respect meter for turning down a great role because of 5 seconds of someone else’s nudity.
