More quotes by Kate Beckinsale
When I was pregnant, everyone told me you're going to be one of those women with a little football in front. And then this...thing, this Scooby-Doo monster belly arrived. I gained 65 pounds. Every single part of my body was thicker - even my scalp! But that's the advantage of being young - it went right back.
Kate Beckinsale
I'm attracted to playing things that I find difficult, just because it's a journey that is much more interesting.
Kate Beckinsale
I still feel like the person who shouldn't be doing this and everyone is acting around me as if I'm a badass all the time. And this still feels like a stretch. I realize this is something that is incredible. I get to do this and I get wonderful teachers to help me and it's amazing.
Kate Beckinsale
I'm a fan of action movies.
Kate Beckinsale
I would say probably my least favorite costume ever was in 'Van Helsing.' That was a huge pain because it had thigh-high boots with 30 buckles on them that had to be done up individually.
Kate Beckinsale
Always argue over text so other people aren't embarrassed!
Kate Beckinsale
I think actors always like to think they don't bring the character home, and then their family all laugh and tell you otherwise.
Kate Beckinsale
I have a husband who literally worships me. And cleans the house. And blow-dries my daughter's hair.
Kate Beckinsale
My life has not been predictable. I never would have imagined I'd be living where I'm living, doing what I'm doing or married to an American guy. I'm interested to see what will happen next!
Kate Beckinsale
People should realize women aren't just whores or virgins, I want to see women who are real human beings.
Kate Beckinsale
I find American behaviour...odd
Kate Beckinsale
Were I not married to the director, I'm not sure I'd know anything about the 'Underworld' sequel.
Kate Beckinsale
Theres such a pressure on women that we put on ourselves and everyone else puts on us to look unrealistic and everything, but you just cant compare yourself to people in magazines.
Kate Beckinsale
I remember when I did 'Click' and I'd see Adam Sandler's fan base. He's the guy that people feel that he's their best friend, so he's walking down the street and people sort of high five him and want to tell him a joke or invite him to come home and have a sandwich with them.
Kate Beckinsale
I think I like playing the bad girl. I like complicated. I like flawed, messed up complicated. It's more interesting.
Kate Beckinsale
People keep asking me about it but I don't want to be famous for being a former anorexic.
Kate Beckinsale
Feeling attractive didn't come until I was 29... What is it about a woman being in her late 30s that brings out the Oh, my gosh, are you worried? questions? Worried? What about? Thirty-eight, 39, 40, 50! Great! Still alive!
Kate Beckinsale
As an actor, your motives and your own crazy psyche is really all you're responsible for in the movie.
Kate Beckinsale
My daughter comes with me everywhere. I don't leave her behind. But it is hard. I mean, I think any working mother will tell you that what kind of falls by the wayside, you know, are the hours of sleep that you wish you had, and all that. I feel incredibly lucky and blessed, but I do sometimes feel like that exorcist lady!
Kate Beckinsale
When [Len Wiseman and I] first met, I was a huge fan of the 'Alien' movies. I was a huge 'Die Hard' fan until it ate my husband for two years. We sit and watch movies all the time. One of my favorite movies is 'Dog's Day Afternoon.' Len loves that movie.
