For my own children, I do want for them to look back and remember that it was me in the kitchen, that I was doing the packed lunches, that we were there on the school run, that we did take a bus. I want them to remember those things, because those are the things that I remember from my own childhood and that have been incredibly important to 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.

And I did know exactly what he wanted - this kind of cheese and no tomato and no pickle. I absolutely knew. And I thought, `God, that's really weird that I know this person so well.' It was brilliant.
