When i first thought about becoming jane austen i had to forget about the fear, or at least choose something else to focus on because it was becoming paralysing, i couldn't focus. i felt frightened, not so much by her fans' reaction to my performance but that i would be playing someone who i think is a legend, who i respect and admire so much. i didn't want to fail, so i was putting a lot of pressure on myself.

More From Anne Hathaway

I am a jane austenite, and therefore slightly imbecile about jane austen. my fatuous expression, and airs of personal immunity-how ill they sit on the face, say,of a stevensonian! but jane austen is so different. she is my favourite author! i read and reread, the mouth open and the mind closed. shut up in measureless content, i greet her by the name of most kind hostess, while criticism slumbers.

There was something i was always very good at, however, and that was teaching myself not to be frightened while frightening things are going on. it is difficult to do this, but i had learned. it is simply a matter of putting one’s fear aside, like the vegetable on the plate you don’t want to touch until all of your rice and chicken are gone, and getting frightened later, when one is out of danger. sometimes i imagine i will be frightened for the rest of my life because of all of the fear i put aside during my time in stain’d-by-the-sea.

Jane austen wrote six of the most beloved novels in the english language, we are informed at the end of becoming jane, and so she did. the key word is beloved. her admirers do not analyze her books so much as they just plain love them to pieces.

We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.
War Thinking Past
She wondered whether there would ever come an hour in her life when she didn't think of him -- didn't speak to him in her head, didn't relive every moment they'd been together, didn't long for his voice and his hands and his love. she had never dreamed of what it would feel like to love someone so much; of all the things that had astonished her in her adventures, that was what astonished her the most. she thought the tenderness it left in her heart was like a bruise that would never go away, but she would cherish it forever.
Heart Adventure Thinking
I want men to admire me, but that's a trick you learn at school--a movement of the eyes, a tone of voice, a touch of the hand on the shoulder or the head. if they think you admire them, they will admire you because of your good taste, and when they admire you, you have an illusion for a moment that there's something to admire.
