Kate Winslet has recently shared her two cents on famed debate, “can women can have it all?”
In a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar UK, the Titanic star said, “As women, we try and keep up with the pace of our lives and we get frustrated if we haven't managed to fit in doing some exercise or walking the dog for two hours or being there for every single sports day matches, drop off and pick up at school.”
Elaborating on how she balances her personal and professional life, Kate told the outlet, “Self-care for me means just having time to just simply be, and having the time to be kind to myself.”
“I'm going easy on myself knowing I simply can't achieve all of those things – that's becoming increasingly important to me,” stated the 48-year-old.
Kate, who is mother to three children, explained, “Often I will feel at my most beautiful when I'm just relaxing. I'm working on achieving the relaxing thing more and more.”
The Oscar-winning star also pointed out that women “get more beautiful as they get older. Our faces become more of who we are, they sit better on our bone structure, they have more life, more history”.
“Things I find incredibly beautiful are wrinkles around the eyes, the backs of hands,” noted the Black Beauty actress while speaking of ageing.
Kate further said, “We become more accepting of who we are and how our bodies and faces change, and how we learn from the lessons of life. We have to become more accepting of ourselves and other people.”
The actress opened up that after MeToo movement, she had seen “a huge upswell over roles for women”.
“Now, women are using their voices in a way that is remarkable, and that is how I too have learned my worth and how to use my voice,” added Kate.
