Kate Winslet at Harper’s Bazaar

Kate Winslet by Peter Lindbergh, Harper's Bazaar August 2009

As regular readers are aware Adam is a fan of Kate Winslet. Not only that, but he has noticed that postings of  Kate Winslet and indeed of Matt Smith, soon to be Dr Who, cause his blog traffic to rise.

Kate Winslet is featured on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar. Pictures by Peter Lindbergh here.

Adam enjoyed this quote on the awards season from the accompanying interview by Laura Brown:

Even though she returned the champion, Kate notes of the endless awards season, “It’s very hard to feel like yourself because you’re not; you’re on show. In the old days” — her debut in Heavenly Creatures in 1994, followed by her first Oscar nominations, for Sense and Sensibility in 1996 and Titanic in 1998 — “I’d just wing it, but now you need to give people what they want, which is someone looking composed, fresh, and put together.” But she gleefully defuses the glamour mythology. “Our knickers will still go up our ass at the most inappropriate moment. And we’ll still want to flick them out, but you can’t, because someone is going to catch you.” So what does one do? “Oh, I run behind pillars and things.”

Enjoy!
