AskMen interviews Kate Winslet

Was becoming an actress always a goal for you?

Kate Winslet: Yes, I always wanted to be an actress for as long as I can remember, and I’m incredibly fortunate that my career has turned out the way it has.

Which of your early roles really changed things for you?

KW: Playing Juliet in Heavenly Creatures changed my life, and the role of Clementine in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind opened many new doors creatively.

You’re quite a stranger to bad reviews. How do you do it?

KW: Luck? I have no idea!

Do you ever watch your own films? Do you find it difficult to see yourself on screen?

Which global causes do you feel particularly strongly about?

Winslet to write book for autism awareness

Actress Kate Winslet is planning to write a photo book to spread awareness about autism.

After narrating the documentary A Mother’s Courage: Talking Back to Autism, about an Icelandic woman’s fight to find a way for her autistic son to communicate, Kate established the Golden Hat Foundation, which offers speech training to those who live with the disease, Contactmusic.com reports.

A single mother of two children, Winslet is now stepping up her dedication to the cause and writing a book called “The Golden Hat”, which pays homage to a poem her friend’s autistic son wrote.

The book will include celebrity snapshots of stars like Meryl Streep and Javier Bardem wearing hats and it will hit stores in November this year.
