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
I’m not very technically minded. I mean, I don’t know how to do e-mail on computers. Kate Winslet
I never had a desire to be famous… I was fat. I didn’t know any fat famous actresses… You know, once a fat kid, always a fat kid. Because you always think that you just look a little bit wrong or a little bit different from everyone else. And I still sort of have that. Kate Winslet
I feel like I’m playing more of a role walking down the red carpet than when I’m playing an ordinary woman covered in sweat. Kate Winslet
Loving someone is setting them free, letting them go. Kate Winslet
I’m not the kind of person who’s going to look at the top of a mountain and go, ‘Oh, look at that! That’s lovely. That’s lovely, that top of that mountain.’ I’m the kind of person who’s going to go, ‘Oh, my God! That’s so lovely! Let’s go climb up it!’ Kate Winslet
I’m only 5-foot-6, but people think I’m sort of a great big Viking woman. I’m not – I’m completely normal and average. Kate Winslet

Ah, my dad’s whistle. On holidays when I was a kid, we would all be off in the rock pools along the beach. When it came time to go, we’d hear the whistle and we’d all come running. Like dogs! 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 was suddenly really famous, and I didn’t know how to cope. I didn’t know myself well enough as a person, number one, and as an actor, number two. I wanted to escape. Kate Winslet
Anyone who’s been through divorce will know that every day is really hard. Kate Winslet
I have always lived an ordinary life, and always will. It’s who and what has to do with my job that makes it ‘unordinary.’ I cook, go to the supermarket, pick my children up at school. Kate Winslet
I wouldn’t dream of working on something that didn’t make my gut rumble and my heart want to explode. Kate Winslet
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. Kate Winslet
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. Kate Winslet

One of the reasons I’ve never done intensive psychotherapy or any of that stuff is that if there’s anything in me that needs fixing, I want to know that I can rely on my own intuition to fix it. Kate Winslet
My parents didn’t have any money. Kate Winslet
You learn from things that you experience in life. I’d never want to say that I regret anything or that anything was a mistake. Honestly, that isn’t how I have chosen to live my life. Kate Winslet

Playing Juliet in ‘Heavenly Creatures’ changed my life, and the role of Clementine in’ Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’ opened many new doors creatively. Kate Winslet
By nature, I’m a very positive person, and because I’m happy in myself, and in my life, and I’ve got a great husband, and beautiful children, and I have a job that I love that calls for a certain amount of emotional expression, I get to realise a lot of my dreams and aspirations. Kate Winslet
It doesn’t make any sense… that’s why I trust it! Kate Winslet
I’m often drawn to characters that are more obviously one thing. They’re passionate, and there is always an element of strength because I think every person possesses that in some way, even if they’ve experienced hardship in their lives. 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
I am insecure. If you ask me, everybody is. Kate Winslet
Thank God I’m in touch with my emotions enough to be able to pick up my children, kiss them all over and say ‘I love you’ over and over. 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
Those days of every child having a mummy and daddy who lived at home – Daddy went to work, and Mummy stayed at home and took care of everyone – those days have almost gone, and it’s so much more unconventional now. Kate Winslet
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. Kate Winslet
I burp, I fart. I’m a real woman. Kate Winslet

The things that make me happiest in the whole world are going on the occasional picnic, either with my children or with my partner; big family gatherings; and being able to go to the grocery store – if I can get those things in, I’m doing good. Kate Winslet
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

I won’t allow magazines in the house. When I was younger, I wanted to have my hair cut like so-and-so in the class above me at school, not somebody in a magazine. You see young girls trying to dress like so-and-so because they’ve seen lots of pictures of them. Kate Winslet
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. Kate Winslet
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. 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
No actor wants to play someone else’s performance. Kate Winslet
I never had crushes on anybody when I was younger; I really didn’t. Kate Winslet
I think I can see more clearly now – about how the pattern of past experiences has shaped who I am and the characters I have played – and I’m grateful for that. Kate Winslet

My job as the actress playing Hanna Schmitz, as the actress playing any part, is to understand the character, and to ultimately love the character. And I did love Hanna, absolutely, because I understood her as profoundly as I did at the end of the day. Kate Winslet
The countryside, particularly, is very good for my head. Kate Winslet
If I had a child, I wouldn’t let them go to drama school. At times, I was really unhappy there. Kate Winslet
I was the kid who never won the races. I never jumped the highest. I wasn’t on the list of the high-achieving. Kate Winslet
Before ‘Titanic,’ yes, I had done some things and, yes, I had been nominated for an Academy Award, but I had never been sort of world-famous. And I suppose, yes, I am really famous now. But I feel embarrassed to say that because it’s just a bit daft for me. 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 know the true meaning of getting by by the skin of my teeth; I do. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve got money or you haven’t, whether you’re famous or not. This is the case for all women, actually; you have to carry on. You always have to carry on. And you can, because you have to. Kate Winslet
In films I might look glamorous, but I’ve been in hair and make-up for two hours. Kate Winslet
I often look at women who wear great jeans and high heels and nice little T-shirts wandering around the city, and I think, ‘I should make more of an effort. I should look like that.’ But then I think, ‘They can’t be happy in those heels.’ Kate Winslet
My body will never go back to what it was, and I wouldn’t expect it to after three babies. 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
As a woman, especially when you have children, one gets so good at soldiering on – almost too good. Kate Winslet
I’m obsessed with ‘Top Chef’. Kate Winslet
So I won an Oscar. It’s amazing. I’ve got that for the rest of my life for a performance I am proud of. It nearly killed me. I am really proud of the film. That’s it, moving on. 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
Life is short, and it is here to be lived. Kate Winslet
A lot of the girls were awful, very catty. It was a competitive environment that I didn’t like. You have no idea of the anorexia I saw around me. Kate Winslet
I love it when a character requires me to look less than my red-carpet best. Kate Winslet
You can’t choose who you fall in love with, you know? Kate Winslet
I’m really happy in my own skin. Kate Winslet
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. Kate Winslet
Guy Pearce played Mike in ‘Neighbors’. I would fake illness to stay off school and watch the one P.M. show, and I would also watch it again when it was repeated at 5:25 P.M. Obsessed. 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. Kate Winslet
I have wrinkles which are very evident. I will particularly say when I look at movie posters, ‘You guys have airbrushed my forehead. Please, can you change it back?’ Kate Winslet
Since I was 13 or 14 I’ve always felt older than I actually am. Kate Winslet
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. Kate Winslet
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
I have always wanted my children’s dads to be involved in their lives. Not just the day-to-day aspect, but the emotional shifts that they go through, when little things pop up – they need to be included, absolutely, and for the children to feel that they are. Kate Winslet
I suffered from ‘No one will ever fancy me!’ syndrome, well into my teens. Even now I do not consider myself to be some kind of great, sexy beauty. Absolutely not. Kate Winslet
The experience of making a movie is far removed from watching the end result. It’s exciting, but it still makes me squirm. Kate Winslet
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. Kate Winslet
Glamour to me is about remaining graceful and understated. Kate Winslet
I do have impossibly high standards. Kate Winslet
Every woman has a mother, and every woman will have an issue with that mother and things that mother did or didn’t do. It just depends on how you choose to process the lessons that you learned from your own mother. 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
‘Holy Smoke’ is very brave because I don’t think it’s easy to watch. Kate Winslet
