‘My children are my life,’ says Kate Winslet

The star, who has a daughter Mia, 12, from her marriage to Jim Threapleton, and a son, Joe, from her seven-year marriage to Sam Mendes, revealed she doesn’t struggle as much with balancing her career and family life.

 

She told the Mail on Sunday newspaper’s You magazine, “My greatest strength is my ability to bounce back … I’ve got a really over-packed brain, there’s always so much to do!

 

“But my children are my life and acting is something that I just do sometimes.”

 

Last month Kate admitted the past four years, including her split from Sam in 2010 and marriage to her current husband Ned Rocknroll in December, has given her much needed clarity as well as helped her professionally with inspiration.

 

She added, “I’ve really learnt a great deal about myself, in the last four years in particular.”

 

“I think I can see more clearly now, about how the pattern of past experiences has shaped who I am, and the characters I have played, and I’m grateful for that.

 

“I have so much more material to draw on for work, rubble, bricks, and I know I can carry it now. I’m not going to drop it, and if I do, I’ll sift through it.”
