'It's a tough, tough job': Kate Winslet talks motherhood and her admiration for fathers
SHE'S A MOTHER of three children, and Kate Winslet has revealed she thinks motherhood is a "tough" job.
The star spoke about motherhood and family in an interview for her latest movie, Labor Day.
The 38-year-old star, born in Reading, said: "Look, I have the deepest admiration for mothers everywhere. It’s a tough, tough job. Same goes for fathers by the way.
"Motherhood will transform your life. Your children are the number one priority in your life."
In the movie, Kate works alongside a young actor - Gattlin Griffith - nearly the same age as her own son Joe.

Asked whether or not that made it more difficult to be working with a child nearly the same age as her children, Kate said: "First of, let me tell you that Gattlin was incredible.
"My daughter is 12 and my son is 9 years old. Gattlin gave me a great insight of how you develop a friendship with your kids, as they are growing older.
"Gattlin is a very mature young man, and he really is incredible in this film. He brings a certain sensibility and strength to his character that makes him very believable."
The star then spoke about new projects on the horizon, explaining she's a woman who likes to "be busy".
Kate said: "I like being busy. I do believe I am a little bit of a workaholic. I have trouble just relaxing for a while.
"I did a love story after this. It’s taking place during Louie XIVs’ reign right before he is moving into Versailles. The movie is called “A Little Chaos”. I hadn’t played an English person for a while, and I really enjoyed it.
"And I am part of “Divergent” where I play a very evil person. That was a lot of fun for me as well."
Labor Day is in stores on DVD now.
