New York, Jan 29 (IANS): Actress Anne Hathaway, whose new movie has been put on hold, says she is excited about having some time off work and being unemployed.

She can't wait to spend time at home here with her husband Adam Shulman, and also with her pet dog.

"I had a film lined up that we would have taken a breath on, so I am unemployed. It's such a funny experience to sort of be here and be in some ways at the pinnacle of what you can achieve as an actor, but also know that you don't have a job. That is the life of an actor," contactmusic.com quoted Hathaway as saying.

"I will be hosting lots of dinners at my house. We are nesting, playing with my dog... we are chilling," she added.

The 30-year-old, who married Shulam last year, admits she has never been happier.

"It is an amazing feeling to be seen by someone you respect so deeply and to be loved and cherished. I had never really been cherished in a relationship before this one and it's the best feeling in the world. I just love him so much," she said.
