Kate Winslet stripped down for Vanity Fair and posed for some super sexy retro-inspired shots for their December issue, and we're blown away! The 33-year-old actress looks amazing, and we gotta hand it to her for having the balls to bare all for a photo shoot. Many actresses shy away from showing this much skin, but Kate took the plunge and it's well worth it. Kate also spoke to the magazine about her career, her personal life and the little things that make her just like the rest of us.

On working with Leonardo DiCaprio:

"Leo and I were always aware that if we were going to do something together again that there would be a sense of expectation. It was going to have to be the right thing. We could see ourselves playing that married couple. The friendship that we have and the solidity of that was something we would be able to use. There’s an emotional shorthand that Leo and I have and a physical ease because we’ve known each other so long.…Leo and I, you know, are sort of kindred spirits - we’re cut from the same cloth. Both of us just got lucky [at a young age], started working and kind of learned on the job. We're sort of self-educated actors in a way, and we've just been lucky to work with unbelievable directors and actors who have taught us so much. I mean, it’s been spectacular."

On her weight:

"This is going to sound really weird, but I never had a desire to be famous. I never had huge ambitions - never...I was fat. I didn't know any fat famous actresses. I just did not see myself in that world at all, and I'm being very sincere. You know, once a fat kid, always a fat kid. Because you always think that you just look a little bit wrong or a little bit different from everyone else. And I still sort of have that. I often look at women who wear great jeans and high heels and nice little T-shirts wandering around the city and I think, I should make more of an effort. I should look like that. But then I think, They can't be happy in those heels."

On how bad she wants an Oscar:

"Do I want it? You bet your f*cking ass I do! I think that people assume that I don't care or don't want it or don't need it or something. It's hard to be there five times, and I'm only human, you know? But I don't go home and cry, because we're all grown-ups here."
