Kate Winslet Gets Sexy to Talk Oscars, Motherhood, and Plastic Surgery in Glamour

1 / 6

Kate Winslet graced the cover of April's Glamour in a tight dress by Hervé Léger, and she donned even more sexy looks in the accompanying spread from photographer Matthias Vriens-McGrath. She was named one of the magazine's 50 Most Glam along with other stars Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry, and Gwyneth Paltrow — check out the full list at their site. Kate didn't join her famous counterparts at this weekend's Oscars, but she was apparently partly responsible for her Mildred Pierce costar, Melissa Leo's, profanity-laced acceptance speech. Kate opened up about her own Academy Award win, motherhood, and more in the issue, which is available on newsstands March 8. She said:

On plastic surgery: “No, I have never tried any of that stuff. I don’t have parts of my body that I hate or would like to trade for somebody else’s or wish I could surgically adjust into some fantasy version of what they are.”
On winning an Oscar: “I was the kid who never won the races. I never jumped the highest. I wasn’t on the list of the high-achieving. That wasn’t me, so winning the Oscar was like winning all the prizes in one single night that I never won as a kid. For me, it was an internal-fist-pumping moment of yes.”
On raising her children: “The challenge is making sure that they’re never treated different just because I sometimes am. I always want them to be regular kids who are grateful and respectful of other human beings. I want them to know that when we fly first-class, that they are lucky. The highest compliment I could ever receive about my kids — and I can say that this does happen frequently — is when the in-flight crew say to me, "Your children are wonderful. They are so well-behaved." Every time I am told that, I could weep.”
