But she said that it would be fun to watch the movie in premiere in front of the actual audience so that she could look into their reaction.
It was something that she was excited about as she had not ever done it in her life.
She was asked about things that she had not done in her life by the interviewer, and she revealed that there were many. She said that she had never done skiing in her entire life and really wanted to try it.
She revealed that she was not from a privileged family, so skiing was out of her league as a child.
But now she has the capability to ski. Still, she is holding herself back as she has a great responsibility.
She doesn't want to get hurt in any way, as she has a home to feed.
But she revealed that she is actually fortunate to learn a lot of things.
She said that she really loved the water from the beginning, and holding her breath in water was something that she always wanted to learn.

Kate Fears That Her Children Might Google Her
