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 WinsletI 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 WinsletIt's funny when someone says to you 'you're hot' and all that, because I don't think of it in that way.
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 WinsletJust coming to terms with the fact that I got to play April Wheeler [Revolutionary Road] and Hanna Schmitz [The Reader] in one year, let alone in my lifetime. I'm very, very aware of how rare that is as an opportunity for any one person. I can't tell you how much I've been able to take away from these experiences creatively. I really, really learned so much about acting, about myself... all of those things. It's difficult to talk about the actor's process without sounding like an arrogant asshole but they really were very challenging.
