When it came to shooting it, I had been sort of putting it off, and pretending it wasn’t going to happen.

When I read the script and I saw this scene was there, I laughed hysterically.
WORDPRESS INKSLINGER KATE MOVIE
On a scene from the movie Holy Smoke (1999),: “It was a difficult scene. I am still ambitious and I will have to travel and live elsewhere because of that but England is always home. It’s very important to me to retain that. We will go and live in New York when it is necessary because of work but we prefer to be in England. Some might think that we want to live in Hollywood but that is not what we want at all. There is no way we are going to move out of England. 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? People say to me, ‘You seem to have made this conscious decision to do independent films’. And she was absolutely stunned that I wasn’t being driven round in some flash car all the time. And she said, ‘Don’t you have a big car that drives you around?’ And I said, ‘No’. And she said, ‘And you’re getting the tube?’ And I said, ‘Yes’. and this girl turned round to me and said, ‘Are you Kate Winslet?’. Since I was 13 or 14, I’ve always felt older than I actually am. … So it was important to me after Titanic (1997) 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 also don’t want to act every day of my life. And whilst I’m ambitious and care very much about what I do, I’m not competitive. I’m an English girl, I’ve always loved England, I’ve never felt the desire to leave it for any particular reason.

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.Ībout 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.”Īfter Titanic (1997) it would have been completely foolish for me to go and try and top that. in hopes of getting small roles in American films. I’d rather do theatre and British films than move to L.A. I’m the kind of actress that absolutely believes in exposing myself.”

There’s not an awful lot that embarrasses me. In 2002 she had this to say about doing nude scenes: “I like exposing myself. I burst into tears and had to leave work because I couldn’t control myself. 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. And when I found out, I just couldn’t believe it. I just so communicated with her, the story and their relationship. I’m bloody well going to.’ And that was it. : “I was reading the script in the back of the car and I turned to my dad and yelled, ‘I’ve GOT to get this!’ And he replied, ‘Then you will.’ And I thought, ‘Yep, that’s it.
