Kate Winslet reveals her children are more of a priority than acting.

The star has two children, daughter Mia, 12, from her marriage to Jim Threapleton, and son, Joe, from her seven-year marriage to Sam Mendes.

Kate revealed she doesn't struggle as much with balancing her career and family life telling You magazine: "My greatest strength is my ability to bounce back ... I've got a really over-packed brain - there's always so much to do!

"But my children are my life and acting is something that I just do sometimes."

Last month Kate admitted the past four years - including her split from Sam in 2010 and marriage to her current husband Ned Rocknroll in December - has given her much-needed clarity as well as helped her professionally with inspiration.

She added: "I've really learnt a great deal about myself, in the last four years in particular.

"I think I can see more clearly now - about how the pattern of past experiences has shaped who I am, and the characters I have played- and I'm grateful for that.
