Why did Kathy Burke never got married?
Kathy has gone on to say that she doesn’t have any kids is because she chose not to have kids and keep herself to herself. She explained about her choice to not get married and remain single, “I don’t get involved with men in that way any more. It was a decision. The last relationship I had was quite a while ago and then I just thought: ‘Fuck this for a game of soldiers.’ I’ve been lucky. The blokes that I’ve been with have been really decent people, apart for one in 1993 – that was a long time ago, but some people can have an effect; if you hear their name it can make you feel a bit… weird.”
She has explained about her partners and relationships, “a very long time ago and I’ve not really had those feelings again. So I’ve had some shags – you can get laid whenever you want but… I love being in love even though it’s quite disruptive and I’ve just really not felt that way again. Of course, people fall in love when they’re older, but I’ve come to accept that, OK, that was it and it didn’t work out. So it’s a shame, but my life didn’t stop.”
Kathy as an actress acknowledged early on where she stood with her looks and her famous quote regarding this matter is “When you are called a character actress it’s because you are too ugly to be called a leading lady.”
