Kate Winslet Biography

On the issue of weight:
“I've been skinny; it's f******g boring.’’

“There's more to life than cheek bones.’’

“I'd much rather be known as some curvy Kate than as some skinny stick.’’

On acting:
“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.’’

“I like exposing myself. There's not an awful lot that embarrasses me. I'm the kind of actress who absolutely believes in exposing herself.’’

On living:
“Just because society, and government, and whatever was different 100 years ago, doesn't mean that people didn't have sex, pick their nose, or swear.’’
