Kate Winslet's quotes

In 2002, she had this to say about doing nude scenes: I like exposing myself. There's not an awful lot that embarrasses me. I'm the kind of actress that absolutely believes in exposing myself.
I'd rather do theatre and British films than move to L.A. in hopes of getting small roles in American films.
It's very important for me to make the statement that I am English and just because I've done one really big film, it doesn't mean that I don't want to keep a finger in the fantastic British film industry and do films like this.
On her spur-of-the-moment marriage to Sam Mendes: We hadn't been planning to do it but we thought it was rather a good idea, so we just did it.
Since I was 13 or 14, I've always felt older than I actually am.
On receiving her fourth Oscar nomination: I can't believe it. I am ecstatic! This nomination means so much to me. To be remembered for a film that was released a while ago, I am unbelievably honoured and completely overwhelmed.
There's more to life than cheekbones.
Mum and dad were very much friends, and up to life. There was no anxiety for anything when I was growing up, they just taught me to be me.
Life is short, and it is here to be lived.
Loving someone is setting them free, letting them go.
I was a wayward child, very passionate and very determined. If I made up my mind to do something, there was no stopping me.
It seems daft that I'm famous and I've not really got to grips with that.
On taking chances in Hollywood: If you're not still learning and growing as an actor, then you have no backbone and no career. [November 2000]
[on being nominated in the same category as superstar Meryl Streep] It feels unbelievable to be mentioned in the same breath as fellow actress Meryl Streep. It's inconceivable to me that this would even happen in my lifetime at all. It's such a dream.
I think he could have actually fit on that bit of door. [Concerning whether Jack Dawson could have survived with Rose on the floating board in Titanic]
[on working with Woody Allen and Roman Polanski] What the f*** was I doing?
The good and bad things are what form us as people... change makes us grow.
Plastic surgery and breast implants are fine for people who want that, if it makes them feel better about who they are. But, it makes these people, actors especially, fantasy figures for a fantasy world. Acting is about being real being honest.
It doesn't matter how old you are or what you do with your life, you will never stop needing your mum. And I will never stop needing mine, so thanks, Mum.
