YAY! For us reaching 75,000 posts and our Fourth Milestone!


On behalf of myself and my co-mod Lizie I would like to thank everyone who has ever posted on this board.
Thank you so much for keeping this board alive! We couldn’t have done it without you!
Here's to lots of memories and milestones to come!



What Kate represents can't be put into simple words. She's a Woman. With the whole meaning of this word. She is a mother, a best friend... She could, very easily, be the woman next door. She could, very easily, be your friend. This is what she shows us, every single day, not only with her films, but also with her real life choices. She's the perfect idol for teenage girls. She teaches them that they can be pretty just the way they are. Just... be confident. Like she is. Don't give a damn to about what magazines say what real beauty is. Neither does she. Be yourself. Like her. Who said that beauty can't be combined with talent, that talent can't be combined with personality, that a good sense of humor can't be combined with respect, that being an Academy Award Winner means that you don't have to be down to earth? If, even for once, a person said so, then he doesn't know her. Not only can she combine all of those things with an amazing way, without overdoing it, not only does she care about others, not only has she changed the way Hollywood sees female beauty, she's also managed to be considered the greatest actress of her generation before she even reaches 30. Now that I am re-reading those lines she said, now that I am re-watching her smiling and talking proudly about herself looking like a mess, only one word can enter my mind, and which can really describe what she is. But, again, it isn't good enough. And that word, is gorgeous...



Guess what?! She’s not just an amazing actress, she’s quotable too!

I don’t believe in sort of holding back, you know, life isn’t a dress rehearsal!

I struggle for what I believe in. Life is short, it’s impossible to repeat something; you have to take advantage of things when you can reach them

At 14, I watched Dirty Dancing and just wanted Patrick Swayze to take me away, so in terms of love, I am a hook, line and sinker girl

Regret isn’t good. Every decision one makes in life is made for a reason or another. Whenever something bad happens, I go, ‘This is happening for a reason’, or, ‘This is going to teach me something’

One embarrassing moment that I wouldn’t mind deleting was a time when I was in a tap-dancing class. I was 14 and just laughing my head off with one of the guys who was in my class. I don’t know what we were laughing about — we just got ourselves into that hysterical thing that you can’t get out of. And I actually peed myself in the class. It was terrible.

Greed is a nasty thing. I’m sure it’s very easy for actors to become greedy once they’re handed everything on a plate and can pick and choose from any entrée, appetizer or dessert they want. Hugh Grant once said to me, ‘How well did Heavenly Creatures do at the box office?’ When I said, ‘I have no idea’, he was shocked, saying, ‘Well, don’t you read the figures?’ No, I don’t. To get all caught up in the business side of it frustrates me. That’s one major reason why I really don’t want to play only big leads in films or only strong female figures. I’m more than happy to play a part in a smaller project if I really love the script, the material

I’ve got the corset to thank for a lot of good things. Ken [Branagh] had seen me in Sense And Sensibility and rang to ask me if I’d like to don a corset again to be Ophelia to his Hamlet. I nearly passed out with excitement

I am not a twig and refuse to be one.
