And what’s your stage now?
so many of the bullied people in school have turned out to be amazing human beens. Difficulties usually shape more honest and resilient human beings.

that sounded very awkward but Im not going to be a bad sport and point out it wasn't funny, it was a decent try
She's so honest! "If I always love it, then I'll always be able to do it honestly, and with open heart."
Oh gosh, I almost cry watching this...thank you Kate Winslet
And look where you are now,nothing good in life comes easy.Thank you for this motivation,Love you Kate.
teary-eyed. Thank you, Kate.
she is such an amazing actress. She indeed has given me hope and a lesson to "Don't ever give up" and I won't
I loved this! Nothing is really impossible if we have the courage to pursue it. Such an inspiring story from her. I love Kate, one of the great actors I know.
Oh Kate you make me emotional. Thank you for not quitting!
This is great, i love how natural and honest she is, wonderfully refreshing
I can easily tell she is so nice and honestly I love her British Accent So humble too! I love U kate
Kate beautiful from inside and out,perfect Kate ,love u always.
I already loved that woman! She's so honest and humorous! I can relate to her though
She says shes embarrassed for her role on Titanic but she is truly amazing in the film
I've watched almost all her movies from the heavenly creatures to carnage....and i've always loved her so much she is the best actress of all times.....and love her accent!!
So down-to-hearth, natural, sincere... and on top of that, an insurmountable actress. What else Kate? You're simply brilliant. Looking forward to see you in a new film again!!
that's incredible...the same things she's gone through, i've gone through...she's just amazing
love her..she has an amazing personality
What a great story Kate Winslet. Thank you for sharing your path as an actor. I myself am an aspiring actor and I had one role as a background actor and I was ecstatic just from being in the background. Its great to hear stories from successful people like yourself because we get so involved in the roles you play versus how you got there and how you continue. We dont see the auditions you didnt get. We only see the ones you do get and you do a fabulous job so thank you. You're inspiring me to persevere.
She is such a stunning women, inside and out
Wow..amazing woman Kate is!!
she is such an inspiration.
that was what i needed, thank you..
This whole thing exactly describes who I am and how I feel. I aspire to one day become a phenomenal actress just like her. So Thank you Kate Winslet! You truly are an example of what any young actor wants to become. I have the greatest admiration for you that words cannot describe as I'm sure many other people do out there. Your an all around awesome person! So just keep doing what you do best!
very inspirational. makes me try even harder to become an actress.
The most beautiful woman in the world!
Time and time again, I rewatch this, and gain a little more inspiration. Thanks, Kate :)
she is amazing actor i love her so much
Lovely, lovely, lovely person.
This makes me cry because everything just applies to me
Love this women... Beautiful and best actor ever
she's so generous is in this interview.
i love her, she is amazing and this interview has honestly changed my life.
She is sooo awesome! This is a great video for actors! I've been working on a channel for acting and I love watching acting videos. Keep in touch!
Your show is so inspirational and funny
It could be me!!!!!
Wow very inspiring. We are two sisters and our biggest passion is acting and we hope that one day we will be successful actresses. We know one thing, we will never give up and we will keep auditioning until we get there :)
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous :)
I don´t know if you are talking about Kate, but I dont think that Kate is a liar.. in all this year of the golden globes, oscar, etc, I´ve been searching about her and she seems to be really honest, profesional, and many other things that now days actors of hollywood don´t are or have or think. I really admire her, specially that way she talks of her family. great Kate! you are a wonderful actress
lovely!
She's great :)
I may only be 14 but I lock myself in my room and act like as if I was in a movie or a tv series and I make my self cry and I can dramatically change my mood but I've always put my self down because I never thought I would be good enough and because of my anxiety can someone help me try and get over my scared Ness of acting infont of people because this my dream job

Nicola Fearn take practical steps towards acting. Join a local theatre group or find some acting workshops somewhere and go to them and get up and actually do it. It's scary ofcourse it is but if you never try then you'll never know what might've happened X

awwww 2:12-2:35 describes me perfectly!! i was always told i was wrong, slowest runner yep yep, not overweight though i got it for being too skinny >.> kids are assholes. and i get it cause i am scarred from it. my self-eestem is low. its amazing kate went through the same thing. i also knew what i wanted to do and feel smug except i want to be a writer not an actress. :) kate i love you.
She's really adorable. There are no words to express my admiration for her. She shows what a real woman and professional actress is... in a time where any worthless boring idiot can be called "actress" and even shows off about it. SHE'S FABULOUS.
wow, from being picked on and chubby to an Oscar award winner!!!
I Freakn' Love this Woman:)
Happy mothers day
How about "TimesTalks: Kate Winslet: Becoming an Actress"? Reporter should listen to the interview.
@RadicalBeatrix yes I agree, its very admirable :-)
She was hilarious in Extras as a dirty-talking nun.
Since she was a child... she always knew she wanted to be a professional liar. What a noble profession.

There are two types of fans in world first is one sided known or selfish fan they want to know and attracted by only by their their personality,good image, successfulness and money power For example the celebrity's millions of unknown fans and second is both side known or gunine fans they known from their begining to end of celebrity's life personally and they even know before their success how much they struggle and suffer in their life socially, mentally, physically and financially for example their parents, relatives and some close friends
I would be really interested in acting if i could cry on cue. How do actors master this?

Most of the actors would tell you that the thing its to think about something sad , a sad moment of your life pretty much effective actually but me i think that its something that only people who are talented can do it ( i can cry on command for me its easy i'd love to be an actor i learned english for that and i love watching a lot of movies )

Honestly, I think it takes a certain connection towards their character in order to have any emotion at all. Being angry/happy/excited is easy but being vulnerable and having to show such a precious emotion in front of a handful of people behind the camera takes so much effort to be in the moment and when you're in the moment and you feel what this character is feeling, it's almost as if you've sort of become a part of whoever you're playing. It's absolutely amazing!

I can make myself cry in like 5 seconds. It's easy if you're emotionally connected to yourself. Just think of the times where you cried and why you cried and try to mimic that.

O my dear"kate".if get up at early morning and see a sun then I remember you "eternal Sunshine of spotless mind" smile,during night when I remember your "titanic" face and eyes on moon ,when I sleep to then I remember your "little children" very cute face and see a dream then I remember you in "finding Neverland"when I write or read a book or see any female conductor then I remember your "the reader",when I angry with my wife and my wife's with me then at that time I remember you"revolutionary road"when I any see negative character women in any movie then I remember your"Divergent" and "insurgent',when I see any old lady then I remember your"ammonite ",when any villagous cute young girl with age of 14 or 15 with curly hair and red red chicks then I your" sense and sensibility"when any naughty girl is seen then I remember your first movie "heavenly creature",when any sheakspear show or play then I rembember your "hemlet".when I see any personal secretary then I remember your movie "Steve jobs",when I any poor Morocco woman then I remember your "hidous kinkly,when I see any hindu devotee with white dress sarees then I rembember your "holy smoke",when I see any widow woman then I remember your " ,Mildred pierces"when I see any female detective then I see your "mare of easttown"
Oh my dear "Kate" whenever you speak to me in an interview, I feel like you're a volcano, who explodes all his volcanoes during the interview.
The feeling many of our great actors share is a deep empathy and fascination for the human story. Very few have a fixation on "stardom". And it's a shame that the movie industry has created such a horrible thing as celebrity. Because the art and craft of acting has nothing to do with the industry of blockbuster films or winning awards. It's all about the craft and sharing the results of serious intent and hard work. I can't wait for Iron Man, uh what is it now, IV? Jesus. While many of the world's small stage acting studios disappear because society spends all its money on droolingly stupid comic book garbage for entertainment, we will end up with a completely artificial understanding of our human condition. So go support the arts at the ground level. Find a theater that puts on real plays with actors who brave the expression of acting in front of a live audience. It will bring you closer together, bring you closer to yourself too.
She looks so much better when she's put a bit of weight.

aw,kate is like the best role model as if she was bulied,shocking.
How about, isn't it great she hasn't let her looks get in the way, and still has a successful career interviewing film stars.
Kate Winslet doesn't have a husband. Anyway, as an heterosexual man I appreciate and comment on female beauty.

denise hope you don't fake cry... acting is living truthfully under imaginary circumstances... so you just have to really believe what you are saying and doing and the emotion will come in whatever form it takes... if tears happen to flow then that's awesome.
she's a great actress, but she should of maintained her decency in film making, showing off her body and very exposed sex scenes, she would be worth a lot more money if she kept her dignity. All the greatest well paid actresses of america, kept their decency.

cantopuro By definition a liar is....someone that leads you to believe something that's not true. BTW: Shia LaBeouf (Transformers actor).... called acting "the con game". Jodie Foster called actors..."professional liars". Joan Blondell said that , a woman working at Gimbels had a nobler profession than actors.
She became an actress not actor
Why do we ask Kate Winslet about becoming an actor, and not a real actress?
