“It’s been amazing to watch the way certain members of the media have wanted us to fight each other and the way they wanted there to be competition and catfights, but we were all collaborating—all the time. Now, we’re friends. We genuinely love each other and we’re so there for each other. It’s a beautiful thing.”
Anne Hathaway added,
“That’s actually what female friendship is. That’s what it has been in my life and I don’t know why I thought it couldn’t be that way at work. I guess it is because I was fed this myth. But we all have had an experience that disproved it.”
