I look like people that walk down the street. I don't have perfect boobs, I don't have zero cellulite - of course I don't - and I'm curvy. If that is something that makes women feel empowered in any way, that's great.
Kate WinsletThe 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, Iโm doing good.
Kate WinsletI like the diversity that my children are exposed to every day. I love the way their brains work. Joe [her son] turns to me the other day and says, โOne day, I will have a girlfriend. But I might have a boyfriend. If Iโm gay.โ Heโs 7! And I said, โYou might have a girlfriend or a boyfriend, darling.โ And he said, โWhich would you prefer?โ And I said, โMy love, that would be entirely up to you, and it doesnโt make any difference to me.โ But that he knows! Itโs a real privilege. Talk about the best education.
Kate WinsletI'm a normal human being. I don't have any desire to change my body as a result of having had two kids. That's a good thing, isn't it?
Kate WinsletAs a young girl, I never felt attractive. I was fat and unhappy at times, and that kind of thinking stays with you your entire life. There's always going to be a part of me that worries about not looking as slim as other actresses. But at a certain point, when you achieve a lot of your goals and you can be proud of your work, you start to relax more about who you are. And that includes your appearance and self-image - I don't think I look too bad for a mother of two. But women shouldn't have to feel the pressure to compare themselves to actresses or models.
