As a woman, especially when you have children, one gets so good at soldiering on - almost too good.

I find it very difficult to wear nice, pretty shoes. I'm much more comfortable in boots or Birkenstocks or loafers.
Kate Winslet

If you don’t try at anything, you can’t fail.
Kate Winslet
Image
I have no regrets. If you regret things, you're sort of stepping backwards. I'm a believer in going forwards.
Kate Winslet

I have wrinkles here, which are very evident. And I will particularly say when I look at movie posters, 'You guys have airbrushed my forehead. Please can you change it back?' I'd rather be the woman they're saying 'She's looking older' about than 'She's looking stoned.'

I don't go to the gym because I don't have time, but I do pilates workout DVDs for 20 minutes or more every day at home.

Very thorough in the rehearsal process but more in terms of just understanding the characters, understanding where the actors are at with discovering those characters for themselves, and just setting an overall emotional tone for the piece as opposed to necessarily getting things up on their feet or staging scenes.

That's the main reason I took it up But I do feel I don’t know part of, I suppose, my way out of everything, has been really taking care of myself. I think that comes from an awareness that my children really need me, and they need me to be the healthiest version of myself that I can possibly be.

Mum and dad were very much friends, and up to life. There was no anxiety for anything when I was growing up, they just taught me to be me.

Image
I think I'm developing a kind of subconscious loathing of the word 'franchise.' I just think of something that's packaged, something you can buy on a shelf and is immediately disposable. I don't know. It's a really weird word for me.
Kate Winslet
Image
I think I look nicer now. It's really weird cause when you're 21 you think, Oh God, when I'm 36, oh God, that's nearly 40, and I'll look really old and wrinkly by then. And actually I quite like the way I look. I feel OK about myself these days.

It's true that you need much time to get rid of the fat girl you once were, but you know I am sincerely grateful for my buttocks.

Plastic surgery and breast implants are fine for people who want that, if it makes them feel better about who they are. But, it makes these people, actors especially, fantasy figures for a fantasy world. Acting is about being real being honest.

Experiencing those moments of being alone... is a very, very weird flooring and exposing position to be in when you're just not used to it. But I've never been lonely. And with my kids Mia and Joe that remains the case.
Kate Winslet
Image
I love the routine. I love getting up in the morning and getting breakfast and packing lunches and doing the school run. Those things are really important to me. Because I think that those small but key moments are crucial for a kid.

I had to grow the hair down there. But because of years of waxing, as all of us girls know, it doesn't come back quite the way it used to. They even made me a merkin - a wig - because they were so concerned that I might not be able to grow enough.
Kate Winslet
Image
It's my chance to challenge myself to the fullest, which is one of the great joys about my job... I love it when a character requires me to look less than my red-carpet best. It's more fun playing a character that requires you to look like dog s - t.
Kate Winslet

When I think about somebody like Keira Knightley, whom I don't particularly know, I see somebody who is working hard, really trying to challenge herself and make smart choices in spite of people criticising her size and performances.

As a child, I never heard one woman say to me, I love my body. Not my mother, my elder sister, my best friend. No one woman has ever said, I am so proud of my body. So I make sure to say it to Mia , because a positive physical outlook has to start at an early age.

The good and bad things are what form us as people... change makes us grow.

Femininity for me means happiness and freedom...freedom of being who you are in whatever shape or size you come in.
