The Les Miserables star has enjoyed huge career success, but she admits it hasn't been easy.

"Even though I've had great success, touchwood, it hasn't been easy. A lot of people have told me, 'You're not this and so can't play that,' and I can't tell you the amount of times I've been told I'm not sexy," contactmusic.com quoted the 31-year-old as saying.

She feels she's been daring enough to try on different parts.

"I just go, 'I'm a lot of things. Just because I don't wear my sexiness overtly doesn't mean that I can't become that girl for a role. That's what I do; I become things. Use your imagination, buddy.'

"So in terms of not listening to what other people told me about who I was as an actress and then really pursuing it, I think I've been daring in that way," Hathaway added.
