Kate Winslet vows to push her career to the next level

By Chelsea White

After two decades of making movies, Kate Winslet has vowed she won't let her three children slow her down any time soon.

The 38-year-old said in a new interview that she intends to do the exact opposite, and step up her career a notch.

The Titanic star told Harper's Bazaar she wants focus on her career now that her youngest child, Bear, is five months old.

Simmering on the magazine's latest cover, she said: 'It's time to get back.

'Back to the ''I don't f**k around,'' back to the KW basics of take some serious risks, put yourself out there. And just really push it.'

But, of course, the actress has hardly been resting on her laurels, having filmed sci-fi flick Divergent while pregnant with her baby boy.

Despite giving birth just five months ago, the Contagion star vamped it up for the June/July edition of the fashion magazine.

For the fashion spread - which is on newsstands May 27 - Kate donned a revealing lace bodysuit that made her ample cleavage the centre of attention, under a woollen coat.

While for the cover, the actress channeled her inner pin-up model morphing into a 1950's siren wearing a leather bustier.

Taking style inspiration form Marilyn Monroe, the mother of three - she also has Mia, 13, and Joe, 10 - wore her hair in voluminous waves with defined heavy brows and pout enhancing red lips.

While the star said she wants to take her career up a notch, she did confess to the magazine that she often struggles to find enough time in the day - especia! lly for pampering.

Kate revealed that the cover shoot meant she got her first manicure in months: 'I know it sounds very self-effacing because people say, ''Oh, you're a film star. People probably come to your house to do it.'' But I don't have the time to get my nails done apart from when I'm doing a photo shoot.'

The 38-year-old also opened up about her husband Ned Rocknroll - who is husband number three after Jim Threapleton, who she met on the set of Hideous Kinky in 1997, and director Sam Mendes, whom she parted ways with in 2010.

The pair's love was fiery literally - after they met during the fire at Richard Branson's, Ned's uncle, Necker Island mansion.

Kate said: 'We really could have died, the house burned to the ground.'

At the time the Virgin Music mogul praised Kate's bravery for rescuing his mother, Eve. 'I carried her out of the house and down some very slippery stone steps. Lucky she's tiny.

'She's my son's great-grandmother now, so it's such a strange thing to talk about.'

Despite his extroverted name, the actress said the best part about her husband - who she married in 2012 - is he is such a private person.

'Nobody knows him - it's brilliant. They like to think they know him. They like to be judgmental because of his name and everything, but it's fabulous because no one knows anything about him.'

And despite her success, Kate says at heart she does not feel famous until she steps onto the red carpet.

'It's a very strange place to be because the truth is, I'm not famous until I am in those moments. Those are the times when I am suddenly famous.

'My real life is a very real life. And I know I say this all the time, but it's really true. Thank God.'

And in her real life, the star is truing 40 next year - which, unusually, she says is not big deal.

'I'm quite excited about it, actually. I really enjoy getting older. You just don't worry as much.'
