press archive :: Kate Hudson Knows "how to'
If Kate Hudson feels any pressure to be the Next Big Thing, she doesn't show it.
Hudson, daughter of Goldie Hawn and wife of rocker Chris Robinson, won a best-supporting actress Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination for her role as the free-spirited Penny Lane in 2000's "Almost Famous," her first major film.
The scripts poured in, but Hudson acknowledges she probably didn't take full advantage of her acclaim.
"I was really tired," Hudson said. "I thought, 'God, I'm only 21 years old and I'm exhausted.' I was so happy and everything had been so high energy that at the end, everything kind of dropped off. I said I needed to sleep for three weeks -- and it turned into a year."
A regular on the best-dressed lists, a relaxed Hudson kicked off her stiletto sandals during an interview for her latest film, "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," directed by Donald Petrie ("Mystic Pizza," "Miss Congeniality").
Hudson explains she is trying to follow a career path that leads to personal happiness and creative growth. Awards are the icing. (She said the Golden Globe Award and Oscar nomination were her "gifts" to "Almost Famous" director Cameron Crowe.)
"I don't really feel any pressure," the 23-year-old said. "If I did, it would make me sad because I'd be thinking so much about me and not enjoying everything around me."
Hudson says she was attracted to the role of Andie Anderson, a columnist for a Cosmopolitan-style women's magazine, because the character was spunky and made her laugh. And, she added, it didn't hurt that Matthew McConaughey was her co-star.
McConaughey, who plays Ben Barry, makes a bet that he can stay in a relationship for more than 10 days. Hudson's character is working on an article on how to lose a guy in 10 days -- and ends up with Ben as her target.
Hudson is now shooting "Raising Helen" with director Garry Marshall. Her upcoming films also include James Ivory's "Le Divorce" and Rob Reiner's "Loosely Based on a True Love Story."
The actress says she often chooses movie roles based on the directors because she'll learn from them and admires their "visions."
Q. How do you deal with all the hype that goes with being a celebrity?
Hudson: Because I have Chris I feel so centered. I know it sounds strange because he's a musician and musicians have a reputation for not being grounded but he is extremely grounded.
Q. Did you have any say in casting Matthew McConaughey as Ben?
Hudson: We talked about a lot actors, and we kind of went in the beginning with a round of younger and not yet fully established actors, but that proved difficult because of the character. Ben needed to be a guy's guy and you had to believe he was old enough to be a high-level advertising executive who was ready for the next level in his life. We decided then we needed a 'movie star.' ... Matthew's name came up; it was sort of one of the first ones on the list.
Q. Were you as successful at navigating the singles scene as Andie?
Hudson: I didn't like dating, I didn't have fun. I had fun going out with my girlfriends and being flirtatious. ... But I was always very honest, which is probably why a lot of my dating experiences didn't work out: If I liked the guy I told him and he'd freak, and if I didn't like him I'd just run.
Q. What do you do with all the gowns you wear on the red carpet?
Hudson: I really appreciate fashion so much and (for) a lot of the dresses I've worn I have a special place in my closet. They just sort of hang there and I visit them a little bit, but I can't really wear them again. Well, maybe I can in five years when everyone has forgotten about them.
Q. Are you ever nervous about wearing millions of dollars worth of borrowed jewels to big events?
Hudson: Actually at the Golden Globes I was wearing a beautiful diamond ring that fell off three times. ... It fell right on the ground in the middle of a party and I just went, "Stop! Oh my God, I lost my ring!" ... I thought I'd be paying for it the rest of my life.
