Quote

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.

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

Image
I don't know how much I can be bothered to have to lose the baby weight. It's such a pain... I'm not one of those people for whom it magically drops off.
Kate Winslet
Image
I do endless chopping and preparing things. I really find that relaxing. I do a lot of thinking as I am chopping and cooking.
Kate Winslet
Image
I was very, very thrown by the fact that I had to make some big changes in my life in order to be myself, but under this kind of movie-star banner.

Image
I think what you feel like as a teenager never really goes away. If you were teased for being fat or thin or having bad teeth, you're always insecure about that particular area of yourself. So I've never thought of myself as any kind of beauty, iconic or otherwise.

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.

People say to me, 'You seem to have made this conscious decision to do independent films'. In reality, I haven't. After each movie, I always think, 'how different can I possibly be? Is this going to challenge me, is this going to inspire me, and is this going to make me love my job more than I already do?'

I wouldn't be a part of anything that had acts of violence toward children. I don't think I would do a horror film, either. That just doesn't sit well on my soul.
Kate Winslet
Image
I struggle for what I believe in. Life is short, it's impossible to repeat something you have to take advantage of things when you can reach them.
Kate Winslet
Image
I just look better in simple black things.

Image
My skin still crawls if you call me a movie star. I get embarrassed. I think, don't be ridiculous. Maybe it's because I'm British. To me, Julia Roberts, that's a movie star. But when people do call me one, that, I think, is an enormous compliment but, my God, is that a responsibility!

I finally moved out of my parent's house. It was only fair to let my sister have her own room.
Kate Winslet
Image
I don't have parts of my body that I hate or would like to trade for somebody else's or wish I could surgically adjust into some fantasy version of what they are.

Image
I'd rather do theater and British films than move to L.A. in hopes of getting small roles in American films.

Image
I'm not very technically minded. I mean, I don't know how to do e-mail on computers.
Kate Winslet
Image
I have no regrets. If you regret things, you're sort of stepping backwards. I'm a believer in going forwards.

The audience's reactions are more important: if people believe in the love story, it's because they love how we've acted. That's the most beautiful award. It's very important for me, people appreciating what I do.

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

If you don’t try at anything, you can’t fail.

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.
