Anne Hathawayis expressing her thoughts on how motherhood has changed her for the better.
In an interview forWSJ. Magazine’s digital cover, the actress, 39, opens up about the impact of motherhood as a parent to sonsJonathan Rosebanks, 6 this week, andJack, 2, sharing that she “didn’t feel fully landed and fully here until I was a mom.”
“It’s not like I was lacking integrity, but it made me want to be completely, on every level, true to my word,” she explains. “And that meant stopping any nonsense that I had going on inside myself. And it’s little breaks that you give yourself sometimes when you know that you’re not being your best self.”
Hathaway, who shares her sons with husbandAdam Shulman, also reveals her feelings about adding more kids to her family.

As her two sons continue to grow older, theWeCrashedstar tells the outlet that she hopes her kids stay out of acting while they’re still young.
“I would probably take the same tack that my parents did with me, which is: You have all the time in the world to be a professional actor; you can only be a child once,” she shares.
“So I would encourage them to study, to go to classes, to read, but I would strongly discourage them from starting too young,” Hathaway continues. “I think that they’ll be in a position where they’ll be able to go to college and figure out where they want to go from there.”
