"In many ways I think I can probably now truly admit it: I did miss out on the teenage years," said Kate, who starred in numerous adverts before moving on to TV and film. "But I'm ok with that. "I hadn't done that much, it wasn't as though I was on set from the age of 11 but I did have to have that focus and take responsibility for myself probably slightly younger than my years, perhaps before most young people have to. And that's really stood me in quite good stead, I think."Kate Winslet steals the show at Divergent premiere

"And to stay a child, really, for as long as possible. That, I think, is the hardest thing for kids now, they seem to grow up so fast, simply because there's so much exposure to the internet and the digital world. "I mean we had none of that stuff," she added. "If I see another child under five playing on an iPhone I will cry."
