Joking around: In a recent interview with TIME , Anne Hathaway discussed an opening draft of her UN speech, which she delivered on Wednesday

‘A draft of my speech begins, “Oh, good, another celebrity telling you what to do with your life,”‘ Anne began.

‘But I think there are moments that demand a response not because you’re a public figure but because you’re a human being,’ the actress said.

‘For me the travel ban was one of those moments. I thought my son [Jonathan Shulman] at some point is going to be curious where I was in that moment, and I didn’t want to be absent.’

The opening, meant to be a joke, would have played up the annoyance some feel when those in Hollywood choose to voice their opinions

In her interview, the Oceans Eight star also discussed her experience on set of the female-driven drama, which includes four stars who are mothers.

‘I only have one experience so far, and it’s a movie that stars eight women, four of whom are mothers — which is definitely not the norm,’ she began.

‘On Ocean’s Eight kids were welcome on the set. [Before we started] I got an email from Sandra Bullock saying, “Hey, listen, we’re going to make this a really welcoming place for kids. I know you’re a brand-new mom, so don’t be afraid to bring your son. We love kids here.”

‘Change is going to come, but it’s going to take people like her with the power to make change to demand it.’

While the franchise originally starred men, the latest version follows an all-female cast. The same format took place in the Ghostbusters remake

‘When asked if the movie would ‘become political’ or ‘attract harassment,’ she believes that it could.

‘When I’m a second or a third lead in a film — usually the first and second leads are men — my character doesn’t feel political,’ began the 34-year-old.

‘But when I’m No. 1 on the call sheet, it suddenly becomes a woman’s story and it’s a statement. That’s the moment that we’re in. In this movie there are eight women starring, so it may well attract that sort of attention.’
