I’ve never left them to go do a film. No, we all go together. I could never leave them. My kids are my whole world. – Kate Winslet
What I am very, very moved and struck by is that so many people in the world are often living a life that they hadn’t planned for themselves. And they wake up one day and say, ‘Hang on. Who am I? Is this really me? Is this what I really wanted?’ And also, ‘Can I change it? Have I got the courage to change it?’ – Kate Winslet
Let me tell you, ‘The Reader’ was not glamorous for me in terms of the body-hair maintenance. – Kate Winslet
Love to me, God, this is so difficult… To me, love is when you meet that person and you think, ‘This is it, this is who I’m supposed to be with.’ – Kate Winslet
Whenever I go to L.A., the make-up artist or hairdresser will end up having a conversation about how fat they think they are, and I really just can’t take it seriously at all. – Kate Winslet
The highest compliment I could ever receive about my kids – and I can say that this does happen frequently – is when the in-flight crew say to me, ‘Your children are wonderful. They are so well-behaved.’ Every time I am told that, I could weep. – Kate Winslet
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. – Kate Winslet
Real luxury is having the time to read endless stories in bed with my children. And I get that all the time. I’m so blessed. – Kate Winslet
I don’t read any reviews, so I’m oblivious to what they have to say. I’m completely unaware. It’s fantastic. – Kate Winslet
To produce foie gras, ducks and geese are force-fed enormous amounts of grain and fat, which causes their livers to swell to many times the normal size. – Kate Winslet
I’d rather do theatre and British films than move to L.A. in hopes of getting small roles in American films. – Kate Winslet
Foie gras is sold as an expensive delicacy in some restaurants and shops. But no one pays a higher price for foie gras than the ducks and geese who are abused and killed to make it. – Kate Winslet
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. – Kate Winslet
My children can’t see many of the films that I’ve been in because I’m always either dying or taking my clothes off. – Kate Winslet
I’ve had a very full and lovely career so far, and I can’t honestly say that I’ve ever really found myself in a man’s world, struggling for an identity or trying to prove something. – Kate Winslet
It’s funny when someone says to you ‘you’re hot’ and all that, because I don’t think of it in that way. – Kate Winslet
I like exposing myself. There’s not an awful lot that embarrasses me. I’m the kind of actress who absolutely believes in exposing herself. – Kate Winslet
It’s very tempting to have a nanny and live in a gated community and have a chef – I’d love to have a few dinners cooked for me. But I don’t want that for my children. When they’re older, if people say to them, ‘Did you have a chef?’ I want them to be shocked by the question. – Kate Winslet
Awards season is always a huge amount of fun whether you’re a part of it or not. It’s always really exciting seeing what films are coming and a lot of new talent as well. – Kate Winslet
My grandparents – both of my mother’s parents – were actors, and they ran the Reading Repertory Theatre Company, through the town of Reading, where I come from. – Kate Winslet
