Yes, I know every Kate site has a quotes section, and we tend to pick the same ones, but I just had to include some words of wisdom from the great Kate herself. She just has such a fun personality, and it definitely comes out in all of her interviews, full of insight and humor. Enjoy!
"Acting is about being real, being honest. Ultimately, the audience doesn't love you or want to be with you because of what your face looks like or because of the size of your backside. They've got to love you because of the honesty within your soul."
"Life's not a dress rehearsal, ya know?"
"I am incredibly passionate about my life. I am absolutely unable to hide any emotion. If I wrote a book, I'd have to call it P is for Passion. I don't go in for anything halfway. My feelings about things are instant, on the spot. And my heart is always, always on my sleeve."
"I'm not a period babe. Not at all."
"I'm a bit famous now! It's a bit strange!"
"Don't act, be."
"I feel my responsibility as a successful English actress is to say to all those young women who are out there in turmoil about their weight: "Life is short and it's here to be lived".
"There's more to life than cheekbones!"
"I can't believe it's me up there. It's like, I come from a small town outside of London, what am I doing in this film?"
"I'm a bit of a masochist, I suppose."
"I've always felt older than I am, and don't really relate to people my own age. They do say I'm mature for my years, and I think it has to do with starting work at an early age and spending time alone, depending on yourself and no one else."
"Sometimes you just want to walk up to people and say, 'Look, I fart, I burp, I don't necessarily shower every day, I don't have any plastic surgery and I don't have colonic irrigation. It is a head mess to me that people think because you are a successful actor in films you are different."
"You know, but I want to eventually have babies, and make cakes and go for nice long walks and all those normal things."
"Just because they lived 200 years ago doesn't mean that they didn't go to the toilet and pick their noses and feel what we feel. Emotions have not changed. They're not aliens just because they're wearing corsets."
"I'm just incredible lucky...I've been unbelievably lucky."
"I've always loved getting up early. There's a certain...secrecy I like about it."
"People say to me, 'You must be used to working with famous film stars,' but when I meet them I still think, 'Oh my God' and blush. On Sense and Sensibility there wasn't a day when I didn't look around me and think, 'What am I doing here?', especially with people like Alan Rickman, whom I remember from Die Hard. And I remember seeing The Tall Guy with my younger sister when I was a kid, and there I was in Sense and Sensibility playing Emma Thompson's sister."
"It'll be nice to see my mom and dad behaving like two kids on Oscar night."
"I love to dance, but I can count the number of times I've been to a club on one hand, because I can't relate to the drug scene at all. You see these people seemingly having a good time and you realise they're on Ecstasy. Drugs frighten me so much. It's partly because I'm a control freak and can't bear the idea of not being in control of myself, that's why I don't drink very much. I prefer chilling out, listening to music and having nice meals. Oh, and I love shopping too."
"The most important thing about a relationship is discovering who you are in it. Because it's never a match made in heaven. It's never easy. That's why roles in slushy love stories don't interest me."
"The day Jim and I are ever labelled a celebrity couple I'll just vomit."
"I'm more than happy to play a part in a smaller project if I really love the script, the material."
"My dad's ever so funny. He's very laid back and treats it just like a job. Like, when I got Titanic it was, like, 'Dad, Dad, Dad, guess what! I got Titanic!' 'Excellent babe, brilliant... I've got to go, I'm desperate for the loo.'"
"I love to kick around in my Harley Davidson lace-up biker boots. I can't relate to high heels. I'm a bit of a fun chick when I go out."
"I can't wear pathetic little shoes."
"I knew, right from the start, that it was not a matter of putting on red lipstick and tying your hair in bunches and saying 'I want to be a star.'"
"I'd never been to a ceremony like that! I was going 'Oh my God, there's Clint, and Travolta, and Tarantino, and Jodie Foster! There's Tom & Nicole, and Brad & Gwyneth!' I sat next to Alicia Silverstone, and we ended up sneaking off to the restroom for a quick cigarette. We swapped phone numbers and had a real giggle. Then I burst into tears when Sense and Sensibility won best film." (on the 1996 Golden Globes)
"It's funny when someone says to you 'you're hot' and all that, because I don't think of it in that way."
"I think it's important not just to see perfect bodies in films. You see these love scenes where there's a 40-year-old woman with the most perfectly toned buttocks ever and that's just not true to life."
"My real hair color is blonde. For Titanic, they dyed it red. But I've been most shades for films & I like the chameleon aspect of the profession."
"My work isn't more important than the cameraman's one."
"And if all did go horribly wrong, I'd go back to the part-time jobs & the sandwich shop. I'd happily do that."
"People keep saying to me, 'Don't you know what this is? Don't you realize who you are now?' I sort of say, 'I'm still me! I'm still Kate!'"
"My idea of romance isn't champagne and flowers. I'd much rather get a pair of old socks with a note saying, 'Get a whiff of these!'"
"I think people are more likely to notice you if you're a movie star trying to hide in a baseball cap and sunglasses. I love that people feel they can approach me."
"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. It's more than a dream I realise, 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 actor friends...I play the 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."
"I still go down to my local swimming pool, and stand on the queue, and pay like everybody else."
"When someone close to you dies, it puts everything into perspective."
"My dad always tells a story about us all going on holiday to the sea. We'd all bundle in the back of the car, which would always break down at least twice, and when we got there I'd just have to get into that sea. December, January, February - I'd just strip off and barrel in there. I had no concept of temperature, cold or anything. I've always been really impulsive like that. I think it definitely makes me feel confident when I'm doing really daring things in films. And I don't care what people think of me either."
"I never ever set out to become famous or to be rich, well-known, and well-respected or anything like that. I mean, I really do it because I love acting, that's the only reason why."
"I'm injured on every job I do!"
"Loving someone is setting them free, letting them go."
"I have had to grow up quickly, and haven't found that to be a chore. It is not as I have had to think, 'What a shame that I've had to say goodbye to my youth.' I am actually looking forward to the prospect of getting older. I also know what life can bring and how cruel it can be. I've gone from being a girl to a woman remarkably fast and I feel ready, at the moment, for what might happen."
"I'm naturally curvy, like it or lump it!"
"Being a film star is a label and seems to me not to be about whether you're a good actor, but about the size of your breasts, the size of your body, and whether you've had a facelift or a nose job. None of that stuff interests me."
"You don't have to be a stick insect to be a successful actor. I'm the youngest person ever nominated for two Oscars - so there's your proof."
