Here are excerpts of Ricky Lo's interview with Anne Hathaway: 

Lo: "You lost 25 pounds for Fantine. How did you do it? And how did you get it back?
Hathaway: "I'd rather not talk about the weight loss, please."

Lo: "How did you prepare for the role?"
Hathaway: "I had to do a lot of research for the part. I had to learn about what it was like to be alive in 1853, what is like to be a woman then. And then my research started to explore what is like to be a sex slave and the emotional toll that takes on the human being. That's what I did to craft the character and I had to sing a lot, I had to get into the character."

Lo: "Did you really say in your Vogue interview that you could never have compared with Lea (Salonga) and your mom who played Fantine? Why'd you say?"
Hathaway: "I think if you think as an actor who sings, rather than a singer, I would be probably be more impressive. But Lea has one of the great voices of our time. Now I don’t think there’s vocally anything that she can’t do. And she’s made a career as a singer so I have complete deference to her. And of course, my mother has a very very beautiful voice as well."

Lo: "You were very young when you saw your mom playing Fantine. What were your memories about seeing your mom on stage?"
Hathaway: "I was very moved. I cried. It was very meaningful for me."

Lo:  "Did you get any pointers from your mom?"
Hathaway: "No."

Lo: "And for somebody who is perceived to have lived a life of luxury and privilege, how were you able to identify Fantine? Have you ever experienced to be hungry, poor, you know, just like the character?
Hathaway: "That's a very personal question."

Lo: "What’s your favorite scene in the movie and the hardest to do?"
Hathaway: "I think my favorite scene in the movie was when I got to come back as angel. That was with Hugh (Jackman). Because I got to feel nice. The hardest scene was 'I Dreamed A Dream.'"

Lo: "Any message for Lea who's looking forward to watching the movie and meeting you in person?"
Hathaway: "We've already talked about that."

Lo: And what about inviting your fans from the Philippines to watch the movie showing in January...?
Hathaway: "Why don't you invite them? I think they much rather hear from you."
