This section contains Kate Beckinsale Quotes



I play a federal marshal chasing a fugitive in the Antarctic and I get horribly injured and disfigured. If you think I look bad in prison in Nothing But the Truth, wait until you see me in this one! I'm always doing movies where I'm getting beaten up, thrown down stairs, hit with blunt objects and even set on fire. I pulled off the scenes with just a few bumps and bruises.
~ Kate Beckinsale Quote

Apparently, I get facials and manicures all the time. I read this and think, 'Oh, I wish I did that!' I don't think I've had a facial since I was 19. When I shave my legs, I use my child's shampoo and a razor - if I can find one. If I did everything they said I did, I would never see Lily.
~ Kate Beckinsale Quote

We never fought. We got along so well and it's interesting because we have such different personalities.
~ Kate Beckinsale Quote

It still amazes me that people actually watching me with a gun didn't just burst out laughing. I can't even play ping-pong, but it turns out I'm good with weapons. I've got enormous hands, like a transsexual, and that's probably why.
~ Kate Beckinsale Quote

To bear children is the ultimate in femininity; it's beautiful. And if having kids is going to affect my career, then fine, let it. I don't really care. Because if that's what being a star is all about, I don't want it.
~ Kate Beckinsale Quote

I can't tell you how many times I've gone to present at the Golden Globes, come home, whipped the dress off and read to my daughter wearing gazillion-dollar earrings. That's how it goes in my house, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
~ Kate Beckinsale Quote

I look at how Keira Knightley is coiffed when she attends events. I remember going to Cannes with Much Ado About Nothing (1993) when I was 18, and nobody told me, 'Oh, here's a make-up artist or, 'This person wants to dress you, what clothes are you wearing?' It just wasn't like that when I started. Nobody even told me I could bring a friend! I just sort of showed up in a very expensive pair of trousers I bought in Harvey Nichols, and something I bought in the Sock Shop at the airport. But Keira Knightley has like full hair and make- up and a proper outfit and I think, 'Wow, she's not going to have the before photos I had to endure!' She's really lucky.
~ Kate Beckinsale Quote

If I get a script that's set in the jungle it goes to the bottom of the pile because I don't think the playgrounds are going to be very good there! I'm really aware of how lucky I am but I have the kind of job where I can bring my child to work.
~ Kate Beckinsale Quote

I was a big disco-dancing child really. My friend and I were constantly making up routines and flinging ourselves around and doing the splits.
~ Kate Beckinsale Quote

I am going to make sure people don't ask them [her children], "Are you going to be an actor?" My mother said I could be anything I wanted except a policeman.
~ Kate Beckinsale Quote

In this business, where the opportunity to think everything is about you is there every day, now I really know that it isn't all about me.
~ Kate Beckinsale Quote

I always felt that anorexia was the form of breakdown most readily available to adolescent girls.
~ Kate Beckinsale Quote

I think, at 19, I was very grown-up in certain ways and extremely not so in others. If I had come on to a movie set at that age and someone had said, 'You're a bit funny-looking, can you go on a diet?' - I might have jumped off a building. I just didn't have the confidence to put that into perspective at the time.
~ Kate Beckinsale Quote

People are controlled to varying degrees but it will still make people think - for example Chris actually says to Marian: 'I've seen you walk down the street, you are allowed out' - so to all intents and purposes she's free. But Bernie has brain-washed her to believe her only purpose in life is to serve him.
~ Kate Beckinsale Quote

If I ever have sex with someone I might be able to develop a sense of humor.
~ Kate Beckinsale Quote
