Kate Winslet is the February 2009 cover girl for Los Angeles magazine. Fresh off of her Golden Globe and SAG Awards tour, she looks forward to getting an Oscar. Although, I’m sure she will win it. The Reader and Revolutionary Road were amazing. Kate has always been under estimated and not it’s her time to shine.
In the interview with the magazine she talks about movies, co star Leonardo Di Caprio and being a mother. Here are some highlights:
On the first movie she ever saw: I think it was Annie. Closely followed by Bugsy Malone. Im that kid. I always wanted to be in those films. It wasnt a fantasy about being in the movie but wondering what it would be like with those splurge guns, or to have tap-danced in the orphanage. But I never had an aspiration to be a movie star. I swear to you, that never occurred to me as a legitimate dream. To me, acting and being in the movies were entirely separate things. Being in movies was something that happened to Judy Garland. Not Kate from Reading. It didnt enter my world at all.
On what in movie making captures her the most: I love planning the scenes and sketching things in my head and hoping to hit certain beats. You can have an idea of how a scene will play out, but there is nothing like stepping onto a film set and seeing everything come out in a completely surprising way. The trick as an actor is being brave enough to let that be the way it is and not try to put it back in the box you thought it would be. Sometimes thats tremendous fun. Sometimes its severely painful because youre surprised by the emotions its bringing up in you. Its extraordinarily challenging, and I really love it.
On if her daughter, Mia, knows what she does for a living: She does, and shes intrigued by our jobs. Im so much in the public eye, I want her to understand where that comes from, that its from my passion, something I love to do, so she doesnt resent it or have funny feelings about it. So she understands on a positive level as opposed to anything potentially negative.
On what scares her: You cant be so selfish as to be scared. You cant do that to the other actors, and you cant do it to the character. Yes, you can be nervous and you can turn to the other actor and say, Im really shitting myselfwhat if I dont get it right? But then you have to get it gone straightaway. No matter how many times youve done it before or how well oiled a machine you may feel, its a daily struggle to not be afraid.
On love scenes with Leonardo DiCaprio while husband, Sam Mendes, watched….and the love scene with an 18 year old in The Reader: My biggest concern was that David physically understood what was going to happen. On the day I said, Im going to talk you through this, OK? Were going to be completely naked. I will have a bathrobe by my side, and youll have one right by your side. If you at any point cant reach your bathrobe, I will give you mine. You need to know there will be a maximum four people in the room. He was like [she assumes a precise German accent], Really, oh, my Gott, what about all these crew and these other people? I said, Theyre going to be a million miles away, dont you worry. It will just be me and you, and I promise we will be laughing about this. He said, Oh, I cant imagine laughing about this. I said, I swear to you. Within the first hour we were giggling.
