You're obviously renowned for being in really good shape.
You are. People are like Kate Hudson - fit.
I have my moments. I have spurts, you know. There's moments where I haven't been so fit,
and then... But fit's different in England. Fit isn't like fit. Fit is like sexy.
Well, it's fit-fit and it's sexy. It's both.
Yeah, in America fit just means like, "she's fit." It's not sexy. It's not necessarily
sexy as much as she's got serious muscles. Here it's like she's fit, and it's some like
sexy...
No, I mean I definitely again, I grew up, like if I'm not working out, if I'm not doing
something active, I don't feel good. So it's not necessarily... And then when you start
to get strong, then you can have fun with results. You know, then you can start to realise
that we can manipulate our bodies to look however we really want them to, which is such
a great... You know, there's a lot of things you can't control, but if I can control my
body to look the way I want it to look like, I mean why not? Right? So I think as you get
stronger, you start to have fun with that stuff.
But touching on that, some of us got a bit of a sort of tire going on. What's your answer
to the question - how to lose a tire in 10 days.
I can't believe you just went there. That's hilarious. First of all, you can't. Ten days?
No, no. That's so funny.
Planking?
How to lose a tire. You know, it depends. As a mum, you kind of never really lose the
tire. I hate to say it.
Don't tell me that.
You know, it's always... I mean, you can, but some people like myself, I don't necessarily
want to always be super strict. I want to eat certain things. I don't want to go crazy.
You can do anything you want to do. How about that? How about you could be and look anyway
you want to look as long as you put your mind to it, and that's kind of... Any professional,
I'm not speaking as a professional. I'm speaking because that's what professionals always said
to me and said to people who I've seen really struggle where you go. If you can, do whatever
you really want. I think that the missing link is how do we motivate? Right? Because
we can talk about results, and we can talk about bodies, and we can talk about... But
how do you motivate? If you're looking at an unobtainable goal, you're setting yourself
up for a disaster, right? If I want to look like a six foot model with legs to her chin,
it's just not going to happen. I'm 5'6", and I'm a different body. It's just not going
to happen, so you have to set the obtainable goal and that starts with, how do you motivate
yourself?
And obviously, we know that you're super talented. You can act. You can sing, and you're moving
into this sort of fashion and fitness arena and you're a mum. What do you most identify
with as Kate Hudson - who I am?
I don't know if I've reached that yet. I'm not of that age. I think that maybe if I get
a little bit older, I can look at my life and look back on my life and be able to say,
like what do I identify with? But I feel like I'm right in the centre of it. I know the
things that I look forward to doing in my life that I'd like to look back on and be
able to, but right now when you're smack dab in the centre of it, I think the only thing...
I mean for me, if I wanted to identify with myself as... It's my family. That's first
and foremost, but outside of that, I think it really is about my growing passion and
interest is where women sit in our culture and our society today. That to me I think
as I get older, I get more involved and interested in - in women's issues.
Oh no. Now I want to talk about that, but this man's like stop.
Hopefully, as I look back on my life, that's where it will... a part of me that I could
be... something that I'd like to be most identified with.
Okay next time I talk to you, we'll start with that. No matter what we're talking about.
Okay.
So the women's issues. You're like this is my film.
