Kate Winslet Thoughts

I am insecure. If you ask me, everybody is.

I was the kid who never won the races. I never jumped the highest. I wasn't on the list of the high-achieving.

It doesn't make any sense... that's why I trust it!

Many roads to take some to joy some to heart ache

There's something really empowering about going, 'Hell, I can do this! I can do this all!' That's the wonderful thing about mothers, you can because you must, and you just DO.

As a woman, especially when you have children, one gets so good at soldiering on - almost too good.

I have just wanted to be an actress. That's always been my goal. I didn't want to be famous.

I suffered from 'No one will ever fancy me!' syndrome, well into my teens. Even now I do not consider myself to be some kind of great, sexy beauty. Absolutely not.

I've never understood the notion that actors and actresses should look great on-screen just because they're on-screen. That doesn't make sense to me.

I'm often moved by the circumstances around some of my characters, but I don't think I've actually cried watching myself.
