Kate Winslet honors Alan Rickman at 2016 London Critics’ Circle Film Awards
Sense + Sensibility (1995)
Can he love her? Can the soul really be satisfied with such polite affections? To love is to burn - to be on fire, like Juliet or Guinevere or Eloise.
“She [Emma Thompson] set an incredible example for me when I was very young. ‘As much as you might be tempted, you need to remember that it’s very important not to work sometimes’. And she also told me, ‘If you ever lose weight, I will never fucking talk to you again’.”
Sense + Sensibility (1995)
The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much.

Pathetic? To die for love? How can you say so? What could be more glorious?
“I’ve already had my talking to. Emma Thompson called me and said, ‘If you ever fucking win any of those bloody awards and you get up there and cry, I will shoot you. I will never speak to you again!’"

Whatever his past actions, whatever his present course... at least you may be certain that he loved you. But not enough. Not enough.

Winslet kept hilarious “Sense And Sensibility” film journal
The Titanic star landed her big break in the movie and she chronicled her time on the set with co-stars Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman in a diary.
Rickman tells the New York Times, “Kate wrote a book about the film and there are some quotes in there about Ang’s occasionally lose grasp of English. We’d get notes that left you kind of staring.
“I remember he said to Emma once, ‘Emma, try not to look so old’. That was a little shattering for her but she knew to translate that as ‘don’t be so knowing’. Mine was, ‘Alan, be more subtle, do more’, which we worked out that he meant do more of the subtle stuff.”
But Winslet had it harder than most on the set. Her co-star recalls, “Kate was only 19 at the time and he said, ‘Kate, never mind, you’ll get better’.”
Kate Winslet joins forces in cosmetic surgery battle
Kate Winslet, the Hollywood star, says cosmetic surgery goes against her “morals”.
Proud of her natural curves, Kate Winslet has declared that she is joining forces with her fellow British actresses to fight against Hollywood pressure to undergo cosmetic surgery.
The 35-year-old star of Titanic says she has formed what she describes as the “British Anti-Cosmetic Surgery League” with her Oscar-winning friends Emma Thompson and Rachel Weisz.
“I will never give in,” vows Winslet. “It goes against my morals, the way that my parents brought me up and what I consider to be natural beauty.”
Winslet, who is the daughter of “jobbing actors” from Berkshire, adds: “I am an actress, I don’t want to freeze the expression of my face.”
Her comments echo those by Thompson, to whom she has been close since they appeared together in Sense And Sensibility in 1995. “I’m not fiddling about with myself,” said Thompson, 52. “We’re in this awful youth-driven thing now where everybody needs to look 30 at 60.”
Weisz, 41, for her part, has said her natural beauty is an asset. “People who look too perfect don’t look sexy or particularly beautiful,” said the Oscar-winning star of The Constant Gardener, who married Daniel Craig this year.
However, Gwyneth Paltrow, the American actress, who lives in London with her husband, the Coldplay singer Chris Martin, says she would consider surgery on her breasts.
“I still refuse to use silicone, Botox or any other of those gimmicks of pure vanity, but a breast correction after breast feeding — why not?” she says. “There’s actually nothing else to restore the original condition, is there?”
“I’ve already had my talking to. Emma Thompson called me and said, ‘If you ever fucking win any of those bloody awards and you get up there and cry, I will shoot you. I will never speak to you again!’ Those ceremonies are such a riot. It’s like, ‘Who’s got the nose job? Who’s got the breast job?’ Very funny.” - Kate Winslet
