By nature, I'm a very positive person, and because I'm happy in myself, and in my life, and I've got a great husband, and beautiful children, and I have a job that I love that calls for a certain amount of emotional expression, I get to realise a lot of my dreams and aspirations.
Plastic surgery and breast implants are fine for people who want that, if it makes them feel better about who they are. But, it makes these people, actors especially, fantasy figures for a fantasy world. Acting is about being real being honest.
Life is short, and it is here to be lived.
You can't choose who you fall in love with, you know?
The good and bad things are what form us as people... change makes us grow.
It's funny when someone says to you 'you're hot' and all that, because I don't think of it in that way.
Glamour to me is about remaining graceful and understated.
Ah... romance to me is spontaneity. It's not diamond earrings; it's a bunch of daffodils that's freshly picked from the field.
I'll eat one cookie, not a whole box of cookies. But I'll still eat the one cookie... sometimes two, or even three. But not the whole box.
The things that make me happiest in the whole world are going on the occasional picnic, either with my children or with my partner; big family gatherings; and being able to go to the grocery store - if I can get those things in, I'm doing good.
I feel very strongly that 'curves' are natural, womanly and real.
It doesn't matter how old you are or what you do with your life, you will never stop needing your mum. And I will never stop needing mine, so thanks, Mum.
I burp, I fart. I'm a real woman.
It's very easy to be judgmental until you know someone's truth.
I'd much rather be known as some curvy Kate than as some skinny stick.
Loving someone is setting them free, letting them go.
Thank God I'm in touch with my emotions enough to be able to pick up my children, kiss them all over and say 'I love you' over and over.
Every woman has a mother, and every woman will have an issue with that mother and things that mother did or didn't do. It just depends on how you choose to process the lessons that you learned from your own mother.
You see, I was never a big fan of contemporary movies because they always make actresses and actors look too perfect.
I don't go to the gym because I don't have time, but I do Pilates workout DVDs for 20 minutes or more every day at home.
