He's brilliant. At first, I thought, 'Oh, is he going to be Hollywood stud-like?' But he's a really kind, wonderful person. He said to me one day early in the making of the movie, 'You know, I was kind of worried about you'. He thought I was going to be a perfect skin, which I am certainly not.

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.
