London:
Hollywood star Kate Winslet had to take a break from acting after her Oscar win in 2009 as she wasn't ready to be creative again. Kate, who won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role in The Reader, took her time before picking her forthcoming project Mildred Pierce because she didn't feel productive, reported magazine.
"I just waited until the dust had settled and I was ready to engage with my creative side again. In the last few years I've allowed myself to acknowledge the fact that I do really need my job. I need that outlet. And so, not only did I feel good and ready, I felt good and ready to be destroyed by a role again," said Kate.
Despite now returning to work, the 35-year-old actress- who split with husband Sam Mendes last year believes she is happier than ever, something she is surprised at.
"I actually keep saying it out loud. Last night, I went out for a drink with two friends, and as we were talking, I said, 'God, you know, I feel so good.' Not in a, 'Wow! I feel so good!' way, but just in that quiet centred way.
"I'm almost surprised by it. I feel well. I feel healthy. I feel clear. I feel centred," she said.
