Okay, start again.' It's always a really terrifying moment." "He created a whole language. "Then I wouldn't hear for a while, and I think he's drifted off that idea. He did all that."

I was trained so well and I had all the safety in place and really respected the process. Revealing how she mastered the art of holding her breath underwater, she said, "I have a lot more interest in breath work now for sure. She continued, "There's a breathing sequence and I make them do it now. If we are on vacation, for example, and one of the kids will say, 'Oh, I'm going to dive down and get that shell.' I will say, 'Okay, not too deep please.' I know how deep they could safely go before they need to come back up and take a sequence of specific breaths on the surface to not get that kind of slightly stars-in-the-air blackout feeling because that's when actually people run into trouble when they surface [too quickly]." "I was just super happy to jump [into the world of Avatar] and very excited to be asked," Winslet told people. Just you have to do it!'"

Her commitment to the world of Pandora and being Na'vi is so embedded within her now that it is truly inspiring to be around. But the second thing it's really given me is not just the freedom of choice in terms of creative work and characters, but actually, it's given me the opportunity as a mother not to work. "Ronal is a formidable female character," Winslet told the magazine. "And when he described Ronal to me and said that she was the female, sort of goddess warrior leader of the water tribe, I just thought, I mean, to me, that's proper sort of music to my ears. So, the idea of playing someone like that who was a leader in that way, the water element was very important to me. And you know, Jim is an incredible writer of strong female roles and he was one of the first to be really doing that," Winslet explained.

The actor embraces aging and thinks other women should, too.

And I do care about being real and telling stories that are truthful and come from a place of integrity,” she told Woman’s Hour. Winslet said she believes in the “everything in moderation” theory, and tries to eat well and keep up with a healthy lifestyle. “There are a lot of myths, I think, around perfection and actresses looking perfect all the time and, and how real that is or that isn't. “Women on the red carpet have been sat in hair and makeup for four hours to look like that and probably had facials every day during the week in the run up to the event. We have opportunity to speak and speak our mind and not be afraid of what people think of us. But, in her humble opinion, getting older is a gift and only makes you “more powerful” as a woman.
