Anne Hathaway won’t exactly go down as the top Academy Awards host of all-time. She and James Franco were universally panned for their performance on March.

How does the actress feel about it now?

“In the grand scheme of things, I got to have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Hathaway says in the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar. “I met great people, wore beautiful clothes. And I got to put on a show. I don’t see a downside. Anyone who disliked my personality probably disliked my personality before the Oscars.”

The gorgeous actress certainly isn’t hurting professionally as a result: she’ll portray Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises.

“I’ve always thought that skinny was the goal, but with this job I also have to be strong,” she says in the interview.

 
As for boyfriend Adam Shulman?

“So far, it’s worked out great. [Getting caught up in the intensity of a romance] has its wonderful side, of course, but also it was exhausting, and sometimes it would freak me out. Mellow doesn’t always make for a good story, but it makes for a good life.”

Hathway will next be seen this August in One Day, based on the best-selling book by the same name. Read her full interview with Harper’s Bazaar at that magazine’s official website.
