The ‘Love & Other Drugs’ actress – whose former boyfriend Raffaello Follieri was jailed for four-and-a-half years for fraud in 2008 – tries not to dwell on bad situations in her life but always learns from her mistakes.
Asked about difficult times in her life, she said: “You just put on your big-girl underpants and get on with it. You learn from it, and you let it go.”
The 28-year-old beauty is currently dating actor Adam Schulman and though she is “happy” with the actor, she admits she doesn’t find it easy to fall in love.
She explained to Australia’s Sunday magazine: “I think most people who have made it to 28 can relate to finding it difficult to let love in. Finding the right person is only half the battle. It’s not enough to be gifted at loving; you have to be gifted at receiving love – and that can be really tough.”
Anne also admitted she wishes she could be braver and tougher when it comes to making romantic decisions.
She added: “I rush into the emotional side of things very quickly and I can be too trusting. I can be tough when I need to be, but sometimes I wish I were ballsier.”
