Famous Kate Beckinsale Quotes

“People still say to me, 'What was it like being in such a huge flop?' The amount of hatred and vitriol was surprising.”

Kate Beckinsale

Referring to Pearl Harbor (2001). Allure magazine, March 2008.

“I sort of ended up in Los Angeles by accident. And it was sort of terrible to be jostled into this position of a fame-hungry starlet. Which is so honestly not me! In fact, I could use a bit more of that because I am such a hermit! So I allowed myself to get really bothered.”

Kate Beckinsale

Allure magazine, March 2008.

“I think that's why I gravitated toward slightly broader… ummm, more conceptual kinds of movies, Underworld and Van Helsing. That was as much as I could actually give. But you're actually more of an animated figure. It does go against the grain, as an actor.”

Kate Beckinsale

On the effect the arrival of her daughter had on her acting work. Allure magazine, March 2008.

“Boyfriends? In my life I have had three. Three. Only a handful of people have seen into the Pharaoh's tomb.”

Kate Beckinsale

Allure magazine, March 2008.

“Acting requires so much delving into yourself and exposing yourself, so it's sensible to be wondering, Do I still want to be doing this? But I enjoy the work, and everything is so solid at home. I don't care if they say I've had buttock implants. Or not. I don't care. Go ahead! That's the nice thing about getting to the age I am. I could have said I didn't care before -- but secretly I did. And now I really don't.”
