Quotes by Kate
I've been skinny, it's ****ing boring.
I'd much rather be known as some curvy Kate than as some skinny stick.
Even now I do not consider myself to be some kind of great, sexy beauty. Absolutely not.
I do think it’s important for young women to know that magazine covers are retouched. People don’t really look like that. In my films I might look glamorous, but I’ve been in hair and make-up for two hours.
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.
I remember [Leo] saying to me one day, ‘You’ve really got to let the whole fat girl thing go’. And that’s the truth, he was right.

TFNT and for using my title! Add me please, btw?

Elizabeth_88 · 07-24-2011, 04:33 AM

added you Laurelle thanks for the title

thats one of the things I love about Kate-how she stuck out all the Hollywood stuff and said curves are sexier

HeartOfTheOcean1912 · 07-24-2011, 04:40 AM

Yeap! And she ended up creating a whole new world and a whole new icon for women. She said "No, no I won't hate my body". I don't know if she knew, but she has truly changed the girls' opinion a lot.

Elizabeth_88 · 07-24-2011, 06:19 AM

maybe we could start finding quotes and adding them to the OP-we don't seem to have any

talking of curves-starting collecting my favs

HeartOfTheOcean1912 · 07-24-2011, 07:29 AM

What quotes? We already have some by Kate. Do you mean find quotes of what others said about her curves?

Elizabeth_88 · 07-24-2011, 09:46 AM

yeh and also what she feels about her figure,issues with the press-there are some good ones at katewinsletfan.com and if you google you might find some interesting ones (I realize we have the quote thread but it woud be good for here as well)

here's one

'I'd much rather be known as some curvy Kate than as some skinny stick.'

and

'There's more to life than cheek bones. '

Street Spirit · 07-25-2011, 05:59 AM

The curvy Kate and stick line is already in the OP, Lizie.

The cheek bones line is good one.

BTW, I love that spam you posted!

Elizabeth_88 · 07-25-2011, 03:37 PM

ah thanks Jas didn't see that

some new favourites

Here are a couple quote from Kate about her curves:

"don’t know a single woman who doesn’t stand up and check the tush before she walks out the door...I’ve decided I am going to start loving my backside because I don’t know anyone who does that. And for my daughter, I want to be able to say to her, “I love this.”’

"“.. I don’t have a model’s body, I have a real shape. And that just means a lot to me to be able to wear clothes that do embody that message of strength and power and femininity in a real shape."

It's okay.

It's a great quote, I love it.

And I love those new favorites. Especially that second one, I love how unique it looks and the color. Kate's hips are looking fine.

Those are great, Elizabeth! Which out of the two is your fave.

Lizie, do you want to add these or do you want me to or do you want to choose quotes to add? We can try to shave it down for the OP.

elizabeth1025 · 07-26-2011, 08:18 AM

I like the second one best. It could be shortened down to

".. I don’t have a model’s body, I have a real shape."

Which still conveys what she was saying! And inspiring too

Elizabeth_88 · 07-26-2011, 10:06 AM

you can add any of them if you want to Jas-no problem-I can keep adding as well-as you guys find them-if there really long then prob best to either leave a link or shave them down

love love the ones you posted eliabeth-can add those in-Kate speaks so often and is very passionate about female figures so I thought it would be nice to gather all her wisdom to the OP

elizabeth1025 · 07-27-2011, 09:04 AM

Thanks Lizie... I know! It was pretty easy to find quotes because she is so outspoken about it.

Street Spirit · 07-27-2011, 11:33 PM

I'll add a few later and you can add too if you like, Lizie.

I like this one: ".. I don’t have a model’s body, I have a real shape."

Love that dress on Kate, I love the color of her top. She fits that skirt well, rocking it as always.
