The actress Kate Winslet says simple pleasures got her through the worst parts of fame.  She told a radio program that a solid meal, a real conversation, a decent cup of coffee, some Radiohead music, and even a good bathroom break made life better.  These small joys helped her manage intense scrutiny, especially during a marriage falling apart.

She called attention after the Titanic's horrific incident, describing a terrifying time with people tapping her phone and constant intrusion that left her afraid to sleep.  She felt unprepared for that global fame and was not in a good place mentally about her body during filming.  Winslet also recalled a damaging comment from a drama teacher who told her as a child to just settle for the fat girl roles if she wanted a career.  She finds that kind of talk appalling.

Now a director herself, she believes the industry still has a lot to unlearn about speaking to women.  She mentioned getting patronizing advice on her first directing job about being confident in her choices, noting pointedly that a man would never hear those same words.  Winslet stated that confidence is the one thing she has never lacked.
