Counts Jodie Foster 's portrayal of the teenage hooker Iris in Taxi Driver as the role that greatly changed how she perceived the art of acting. Has acted out childbirth in two of her movies; Jude and Labor Day She has appeared in one film that has been selected for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically" significant: Titanic During an on-set interview said that the most exciting thing about being a part of The Dressmaker was working with Judy Davis.
During an interview with the Hollywood Reporter during was asked by the host "is there an actress not around this table that you would like to work with who you haven't yet" and Winslet said Toni Collette.
Both of these also starred Leonardo DiCaprio. She has not had to audition for anything since Titanic And he replied, "Then you will. I'm bloody well going to. I was so determined. It was something crucial to my life. I just so communicated with her, the story and their relationship. And when I found out, I just couldn't believe it. I was so happy, I cried. I remember I was working part-time at a deli at the time because I didn't have any money and was in the middle of making a sandwich when they phoned and said I'd got the job.
I burst into tears and had to leave work because I couldn't control myself. It was absolutely brilliant. In , 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. 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. After Titanic , it would have been completely foolish for me to go and try and top that. I'm an English girl, I've always loved England, I've never felt the desire to leave it for any particular reason. And whilst I'm ambitious and care very much about what I do, I'm not competitive.
I also don't want to act every day of my life. So it was important to me after Titanic to just remind myself of why it was that I was acting in the first place, which is of course because I love it. I was on the tube just before Christmas and this girl turned round to me and said, "Are you Kate Winslet?
And I said, "Well, yes. I am actually. And I said, "Yes. And I said, "No". And she was absolutely stunned that I wasn't being driven round in some flash car all the time. It was ludicrous. People say to me, "You seem to have made this conscious decision to do independent films. After each movie, I always think, how different can I possibly be?
Is this going to challenge me, is this going to inspire me, and is this going to make me love my job more than I already do? There is no way we are going to move out of England. Some might think that we want to live in Hollywood but that is not what we want at all. We will go and live in New York when it is necessary because of work but we prefer to be in England.
I'm proud to be English - we both are. It's very important to me to retain that. I am an English girl and I love England. I have never felt the desire to leave. I am still ambitious and I will have to travel and live elsewhere because of that but England is always home. On a scene from the movie Holy Smoke : It was a difficult scene. When I read the script and I saw this scene was there, I laughed hysterically. I just couldn't believe it. When it came to shooting it, I had been sort of putting it off, and pretending it wasn't going to happen.
And suddenly, I am there naked, peeing and thinking "Oh no! It was really hard to do, but I've always loved the fact that it was there, and it's such a sort of turning point for the character I play in the movie that I've always felt sort of good, that it should be there.
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.
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. I don't know if it's a skill, but I have been really lucky.
I've always got on with every actor I've had to work opposite. I just always try and be as accepting of that person as I possibly can, and remain non-judgmental about their process, because every actor works in a different way. I was a wayward child, very passionate and very determined. If I made up my mind to do something, there was no stopping me. On going to the Oscars: Emma Thompson said to me "Listen, it's honestly just like going to see a fantastic show", and actually it really is, because there are so many people to look at and all those fabulous frocks and it's really fascinating.
But mum and dad and I did kind of amble through it a bit, a bit like the Beverly Hillbillies, getting out the car, my mum stepping on my dress and I'm going "Mum, mum! I'm really proud of being English, because I learned my job in England, in English films with English actors. But I never dared dream of such a success I realize it's extraordinary for a British actress. I feel good, but guilty at the same time, cause I wish I could share this emotion with all my British actors' friends I play the main character in the most expensive and probably successful film, but that's not a good reason to leave England and become a superstar.
Not at all. 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. My skin still crawls if you call me a movie star. I get embarrassed. I think, don't be ridiculous. Maybe it's because I'm British. To me, Julia Roberts that's a movie star. But when people do call me one, that, I think, is an enormous compliment but, my God, is that a responsibility!
It's inconceivable to me that this would even happen in my lifetime at all. Height in Centimeters. Height in Meters. Height in Feet Inches. Body Measurement. Chest Size. Waist Size. Hips Size.
