Kate Winslet Shines on WSJ Magazine Cover

Never one to play by anyone else’s rules, Kate Winslet has taken her own road to fulfillment, both personally and career-wise. In her cover story for WSJ magazine, the “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” star confesses she’s struggled for decades with her love life- "No one teaches you, and also no one particularly helps you. It's a very specific thing to ask people to understand.

'So-and-so was mean about me in the newspaper.' 'Oh, just ignore it.' But you can't, because it's not true. I know lots of people who are not in the public eye who have gone through several marriages, I really do, and it's just those are the cards that life dealt me. I didn't plan on its being that way. And f--k me, it hasn't been easy, you know. No one really knows what has happened in my life. No one really knows why my first marriage didn't last; no one knows why my second didn't. I'm proud of those silences. Thank God for [my current husband] Ned [Rocknroll]—really. He's just so incredibly supportive, and he's so much fun. He's absolutely everything to me. And to all of us."

Kate also notes that she’s done being naked in movies- "We all focus on our bodies in our late teens and our early 20s, in a way that is just not cool or healthy. In your 30s, you become aware of staying fit. Now I view my physical self as an instrument that I have to keep going because I'm a mother, and I have to be as healthy as I can for those three people who need me—more than I need for myself to be in a f--ing nude scene."
