Kate on a scene from the movie "Holy Smoke," where she had to pee while standing in the nude: "It was a difficult scene. When I read the script and I saw this scene was there, I laughed hysterically. I just couldn't believe it. When it came to shooting it, I had been sort of putting it off, and pretending it wasn't going to happen. And suddenly, I am there naked, peeing and thinking "Oh no!" It was really hard to do, but I've always loved the fact that it was there, and it's such a sort of turning point for the character I play in the movie that I've alwAys felt sort of good, that it should be there."
She sold her North London home in Belsize Park to Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband.
Was considered for the role of Bridget in "Bridget Jones's Diary(2001)" but it was then decided she was too young to portray the role.
