Q&A Kate Hudson

By Rebecca Winters

This month new mom Kate Hudson dabbles in folk magic in The Skeleton Key and lives a rocker's life on tour with her husband's band, the Black Crowes.

Did the movie make a voodoo or hoodoo convert of you?

I knew a little bit about voodoo, mostly love-spell books I got from my girlfriends. I believe our minds are powerful enough to manifest whatever we'd like.

Was a film set on a creepy plantation in New Orleans really the first place you wanted to take your newborn?

It was challenging. You'd hear a production assistant over the walkie-talkie yelling, "Does somebody have Kate's breast milk on ice?"

Have you reprised your groupie role from Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous while on tour with your husband, Chris Robinson?

Living on the road makes me realize how Cameron had it so perfectly: living in a bubble, involved in a family of musicians, roadies. Being in towns that are unbelievably boring and trying to find your fun. We play pool, go bowling.

You said recently that you think monogamy is unrealistic. Would you mind if your husband had an affair?

Oh, my God. I think I'd mind. I mean, scientifically and animalistically it's not realistic. Men look for nice, strong women to have children with, and that's their instinct. I'm not gonna put any pressures on my husband to be the perfect husband. If that's something he had to do and that's the kind of man he was, which he's not, I just wouldn't want to know.

What's a bohemian style don't?

If you're not comfortable in it and it's not your thing. And if you can't wear high boots over your jeans--if you don't have the legs for it--just don't do it.
