Kate Winslet ready to turn 40

Los Angeles: Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet turns 40 this year and she is looking forward to a new chapter in her life.

The "Insurgent" actress - who has daughter Mia, 14, and son Joe, 11, from her two previous marriages and 15-month-old son Bear with third husband Ned Rocknroll - is experiencing a "surge of creative energy", reported People magazine.

Winslet, who turns 40 in October, said, "What is interesting, I have definitely felt this sort of surge of creative energy.

"I don't know quite how else to say it but I'm aware of being 40 and just kind of wanting to click into another gear or start experiencing this next decade. I want to look toward 40. I don't want to go. I want to get there going, 'Yes, look at me, I made it, I did it. I actually had a really nice run the last couple of years;," she said.
