I never saw ‘Titanic’ as a springboard for bigger films or bigger pay cheques. I knew it could have been that, but I knew it would have destroyed me. – Kate Winslet
Just because society, and government, and whatever was different 100 years ago, doesn’t mean that people didn’t have sex, pick their nose, or swear. – Kate Winslet
I like the idea of, not shocking people, but just throwing people off. Doing something that makes people go, ‘Whoa, whoa, she did that next? Wow, didn’t think she was gonna do something like that next.’ – Kate Winslet
I have been a parent since I was 25. That’s a large chunk of my adult life. Mother or father, it transforms you completely. – Kate Winslet
People still do fall in and out of love and can and cannot express what they feel and are very much pained because the person they love is with somebody else. That’s happening the whole world over, and I think it always has been. – Kate Winslet
I resent that there is an image of perfection that is getting thinner and thinner. I’ve got a lovely husband and children, and I didn’t lose weight to find those things. – Kate Winslet
My life has taken me down several different paths I never expected it to take me down. Not in a million years. – Kate Winslet
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. – Kate Winslet
I don’t really do simple. I’m not really interested in simple at the end of the day, because nothing’s ever simple, and nothing’s ever perfect. People certainly aren’t – I would hope, anyway, because that would be boring, wouldn’t it? – Kate Winslet
Single mums do come in for a hard time. Society is incredibly judgmental. I know this. – Kate Winslet
If I’m going to change, my life and experiences should change me for the wiser and more profound. – Kate Winslet
My dad was very much a struggling actor and spent more of his life as a postman, as a member of a tarmac firm, as a van driver. – Kate Winslet
I am enjoying my face changing, as well as realizing that at the same time, as you get older, the machine isn’t as well-oiled as it was. – Kate Winslet
You know why I fear people’s judgment? Because I know they’re judging. I know they are. – Kate Winslet
I do think it’s important for young women to know that magazine covers are retouched. People don’t really look like that. – Kate Winslet
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. – Kate Winslet
Growing up, I had a very happy childhood, with two parents who are still very much together. – Kate Winslet
At a certain point in one’s career, it’s really wonderful when your child turns around and goes, ‘Oh my God, Mommy, you have to be in that film. My friends are going to die.’ – Kate Winslet
I kept my head; I mean, I’ve never been one of those people who ended up in the gutter with sick in my hair. – Kate Winslet
With a bright-red party lipstick, just go with lots of mascara and keep everything else clean. – Kate Winslet
It doesn’t matter how old you are or what you do with your life, you will never stop needing your mum. And I will never stop needing mine, so thanks, Mum. – Kate Winslet
