"I was so beautifully cared for on both of those films," she recalled. "I was a baby, like a legal child, when I made Princess Diaries — I turned 18 while we were making it. And I was a very, very young woman when I made Devil Wears Prada."
She continued, "I was so guided and looked after and cared for by the communities that made both of those films in particular, each of their directors, Garry Marshall and David Frankel."
In The Devil Wears Prada, Hathaway played Andy Sachs, an aspiring journalist who lands a job supporting New York City's biggest high-fashion magazine editors, the intimidating and cynical Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep.

When asked if she could provide any details regarding plot for either of those sequels, the actress remained tight-lipped. "I cannot tell you a thing," she told WWD.
Next up, Hathaway will be working on a top-secret project where she reunites with her The Dark Knight Rises and Interstellar director Christopher Nolan. The project is packed to the brim with major Hollywood stars like Zendaya, Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Charlize Theron, Robert Pattinson and Lupita Nyong'o.

"I have so many feelings about it that I don't even know how to articulate. It fills me with so much joy, and I don't know how to talk about it," said Hathaway as she praised Nolan. "I love Chris and Emma Nolan so much, and to be invited into their world is, I mean, I know from experience it's one of the best places you can find yourself."
She continued: "Getting to be invited twice really felt like something, three felt like it would've been greedy, so I never let myself hope that that would happen. And that it has makes me emotional, to be perfectly honest. It makes me feel like I'm doing something right."
