Don't take things too seriously especially yourself, says Anne Hathaway

London, Feb 27 (ANI): Anne Hathaway recently spoke about the tips of life her mum has passed on to her.

The 29-year-old asserted that she was taught about not taking life too seriously and not being judgemental about others.

"MY mother, Kate McCauley, taught me to be always understanding of other people - and to have a sense of humour about yourself," the Sun quoted her as saying.

"You need to hold on to that sense of humour. I have been in so many embarrassing situations over the years. I remember going to the School Of Rock premiere and wore a dress I didn't realise was see-through. I wasn't wearing a bra."

"It was horrible. I cried my eyes out when I saw the pictures. Unfortunately, because of the internet those pictures have never gone away."

Hathaway insisted that if you don't look back and have a laugh at things like that, 'you really are taking yourself and life too seriously'.

"Mom will also never discuss or criticise my performances, which is exactly the way it should be. There are plenty of others who can do that."

"Thanks to Mom, I never sit in judgment. Lindsay Lohan and I have more in common than people think. We've all done things we shouldn't," she added. (ANI)
