Actress Kathy Bates talks of her many upcoming roles.

In 1998, Kathy was nominated for a SAG award for her work in the movie Titanic. The category was Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Theatrical Motion Picture. (edit) Kathy won a WAFCA Award for Best Support Actress in the movie, About Schmidt in 2002. (edit) Kathy moved to New York City to pursue her acting career in 1970. (edit) Kathy won a CFCA Award for Best Actress in the movie, Misery in 1991. (edit) Kathy's first film that she ever appeared in was called Straight Time. (edit)

Kathy: I was sick with cancer a couple of years ago. I'd have to say that the most important thing I've ever experienced is going through [treatment] and realizing how I really feel about life ... how I feel about the people in my family, my friends and the people who stood by me. (edit) Kathy:I look for a role that hopefully I feel empathy with and that I can understand and love, but also that has that challenge for me to play - a different kind of role, a different type of character, a different time period. But in general, if I get the same kind of visceral reaction with a script like you do when you see a finished movie, that kind of thing of knowing what its possibilities are and you get excited and you think, 'Yeah, I need to do this. I want to do that.' It's a very kind of primitive visceral response that's hard to be more specific about. (edit) Kathy: I am a very private person, ... Not shy exactly, but it takes me a very long time to make friends. I still have such a hard time navigating the waters out here (edit) Kathy: The Oscar changed everything. Better salary, working with better people, better projects, more exposure, less privacy. (edit) Kathy: Just purely from the craft point of view, I'm very proud of Dolores Claiborne. In terms of the acting craft and having to play a character at different ages and the movements and make-up-I'm really proud of that one. (edit)
