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 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 ordinarily do one film a year and the rest of the time I'm at home with the kids. Even when I am working I'm still basically at home and with the kids. I've never left them to go to work.
Kate WinsletI 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 WinsletI wouldn't be a part of anything that had acts of violence toward children. I don't think I would do a horror film, either. That just doesn't sit well on my soul.
Kate WinsletI'm really happy in my own skin. There's a lot of judgment that can come from outside sometimes, and there's media scrutiny that is placed on a lot of women in the public eye, and I just couldn't care less. I really couldn't care less. 'I would sometimes say in my twenties, 'oh, I couldn't care less', but I think I probably did. Now I genuinely don't and that's a lovely, liberating thing to experience.
