Zitat des Tages von Kate Winslet:
I love to cook. I could never give that up.
My parents met because my father was an actor friend of one of my mom's brothers, but my mother has never set foot on the stage - she's quite shy. So it's a strange thing because people say, 'Oh, coming from acting parents,' when the idea of acting would literally make my mother just want to throw up.
I would like to one day play a man. That is something I do know. I don't know what kind of man. I don't know if that would ever happen or not. It would be the ultimate challenge.
Sure, I could have lots of people who do the cooking, the driving, all that jazz - but I would be unhappy. I wouldn't want my children raised that way.
I have always been, and shall continue to be, honest when it comes to bodyweight issues.
I burp, I fart. I'm a real woman.
I am very strong. When you have children, you have to be.
I've decided I am going to start loving my backside because I don't know anyone who does that. And for my daughter, I want to be able to say to her, 'I love this.'
I hate people thinking I'm some pretentious fraud.
I like the diversity that my children are exposed to every day.
Acting, and the privilege of being able to do it for a living, is so important to me. I don't turn up and just hope for the best. I really fret about it. I do my homework; I prepare myself for the experience of playing a particular character.
The whole concept of 'grounding' children is utterly stupid - they just go off and rebel and don't like you. When my kids eventually come along, I don't want them to not like me.
You see, I was never a big fan of contemporary movies because they always make actresses and actors look too perfect.
It doesn't make any sense... that's why I trust it!
I get up extremely early in the morning.
I will tell you that when I was heavy, people would say to me - and it was such a backhanded compliment - they would say, 'You've got such a beautiful face,' in the way of, like, 'Oh, isn't it a shame that from the neck down you're questionable.'
I'm not a believer in hiding things from my kids because ultimately they are going to have questions - they feel things.
I wouldn't dream of working on something that didn't make my gut rumble and my heart want to explode.
What I've learned about acting is that it needs to be mysterious. If you overthink how a beat needs to be played, it can trip you up.
When I was doing 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' I was asked, 'If there was one part of your life that you could erase, what would it be?' And I was so stunned by that. I thought: 'Nothing.' I would keep all the good bits and the bad bits, because those things made me who I am.
There's always going to be a part of me that worries about not looking as slim as other actresses.
I think any form of self-expression is half confidence, half sheer hard work and, maybe, a bit of talent thrown in.
I was a wayward child, very passionate and very determined. If I made up my mind to do something, there was no stopping me.
Anyone who's been through divorce will know that every day is really hard.
My body will never go back to what it was, and I wouldn't expect it to after three babies.
It's funny when someone says to you 'you're hot' and all that, because I don't think of it in that way.
There's nothing bloody wrong with wanting it at all.
The countryside, particularly, is very good for my head.
Oh, I had, 'No one will ever fancy me!' I had that well into my teens. Even now I do not consider myself to be some kind of great, sexy beauty. I don't mind the way I'm ageing. No reason to panic just yet. I think I look my age, and that's fine.
I finally moved out of my parent's house. It was only fair to let my sister have her own room.
When I first met Alan, I was absolutely terrified. I was 19, he was Alan Rickman, and he's got that voice, and I remember meeting him in the hair and make-up trailer and thinking, 'I'm going to die. He thinks I'm rubbish. Why am I here?'
Honestly, among my acquaintances there is no woman wearing XS.
I was 17 when Peter Jackson asked me to be in 'Heavenly Creatures.'
I was the kid who never won the races... I wasn't on the list of the high-achieving.
I'd much rather be known as some curvy Kate than as some skinny stick.
One of the things that I was always, and still am, is quite resourceful.
