Kate Winslet Quotes

I have a real problem with watching movies where I see this perfect woman who is married to the man in question, who has a perfect life, who has perfect hair, perfect clothes, and doesn't give you any of the kind of reality that you're used to.

Everything on TV is perfect, and it's so boring.

The misfortune is that many people, men and women, think that the perfect face has no flaws, no pores in the skin; and that gives unrealistic levels of esteem. Somebody feels they're not right because they haven't got that type of refinement.

What sort of sap doesn't know by now that picture-perfect beauty is all done with smoke and mirrors anyway?

Hollywood is something else. It's such an exaggerated idea. The concept of what 'beautiful' really is is ludicrous.

Anyone who says there isn't pressure to look good as an actor in L.A. is lying.

Anything looks good if you've got the body of a Victoria's Secret model and the porelessly smooth skin-tone of a piece of glass.

The mass audience doesn't want to see you if you aren't perfect. If you don't look a certain way, if you don't have big pecs and great skin and the perfect eyes. And it's unfortunate, because kids are growing up with body image dysmorphia because not everyone is represented on the screen.

Let me just say that every cover of every magazine I've done has been airbrushed to death. No woman should walk around thinking that's what they should be. You shouldn't be beating yourself up.

I always hated perfect TV moms because I always thought that was unrealistic.

One of my problems with a lot of things I watch is that everybody's too pretty, and it takes me out of the film because I'm thinking that all these people look like I've seen them in a cafe in Los Angeles.

Anytime I'm given scripts where I'm sort of the fantasy girl, it's hard for me because that's not real and I don't think it's a great thing to put out there consistently.

There are so many glamorous actresses, but you know what? In the real world, nobody looks like that.

I'll tell you, in making film, especially when you're an actress, you're always worried about how you look on film, how they light you, always working with your camera people to be at your best, with the expectations of our culture that you always look perfect and beautiful and whatever.

People are so influenced by the media that they really believe a 38-24-45 plastic-surgery body is normal, and they can't understand why a body would possibly have cellulite or bumps.

Retouching is an incredible tool but can also create unrealistic expectations for women who don't understand that an image is not how the subject really looks. Even the subjects themselves can't live up to their retouched images.

Hollywood has nothing to do with real life.

I think women see me on the cover of magazines and think I never have a pimple or bags under my eyes. You have to realize that's after two hours of hair and makeup, plus retouching. Even I don't wake up looking like Cindy Crawford.

If you're a young woman in Hollywood, then they want you to look a certain way and paint you in this and that.

Magazines airbrush everything. If you think it's an illusion, then it probably is.

At a certain period in time, the fashion industry was portraying this image of a totally unrealistic woman, women who are not allowed to be themselves.

I think a lot of magazine covers are heavily photoshopped and bodies are distorted to look a certain way.

It's true that I am surrounded by beautiful women in the movies. But the romance is only on screen.

Everyone is filtering their selfies to make them look perfect. We're seeing it more and more in my clinic - patients want to look like a photo they've tweaked. They show me the picture and say: 'This is the new me.' But many times it's not realistic.

Not everyone relates to being a blond girl with blue eyes and is proportioned so she could barely walk if she was a real person.
