You know why I fear people's judgment? Because I know they're judging. I know they are.
There were days when I would say, 'God, I can't be without Leo'. He was my rock. We were such a team, nothing could break us, nothing could come near us.
A good eye cream is really important when you are traveling, busy and stressed-that's when the dark puffy circles can get you.
I'd like to grow old with my face moving.
Everyone can commit to 20 minutes, especially if there's a glass of Chardonnay afterwards.
I would never accept a role that wasn't going to stretch me or challenge me in some way. I'd say Holy Smoke! probably did that more than anything I'd ever done. It took me to places I didn't actually know I could go to, and that's what I want my career to be all about.
I look very different from how people expect me to be... Clearly they think I'm a great big fat viking.
At some stage I'm going to have to say, 'Right, that's it. I'm stopping for a bit'.
The assistant asked, `What do you want on it?' and Leo said, `Oh, Kate will tell you.' And Leo just kind of fell asleep. And I did know exactly what he wanted - this kind of cheese and no tomato and no pickle. I absolutely knew. And I thought, `God, that's really weird that I know this person so well.' It was brilliant.
He's probably the world's most beautiful looking man, yet he doesn't think he's that gorgeous. And to me, he's just smelly, farty Leo.
I think I look nicer now. It's really weird cause when you're 21 you think, "Oh God, when I'm 36, oh God, that's nearly 40, and I'll look really old and wrinkly by then". And actually I quite like the way I look. I feel OK about myself these days.
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.
Many roads to take some to joy some to heart ache
I'd rather do theater and British films than move to L.A. in hopes of getting small roles in American films.
