Kate Hudson on overcoming fear and rejection. The 45-year-old Oscar nominee - whose parents are Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson - is best known for her acting career but last month unleashed her debut album, titled Glorious. Reflecting to Variety on her reason for waiting to make music, the star says she would have been devastated if she released music in her twenties and it flopped. "Rejection, generally, I can handle.” "I think when you're growing up and you want to follow in your family's footsteps, and they're big footsteps to follow in, I'm not sure people realise how tough-skinned you have to be to get there.” "You feel like you're under a microscope, just internally, in the business.”. ”And I don't know if it's the way my parents raised us or what a tight family unit we have, and how happy we are in our real lives, that we don't value the noise... that we really value the work.” "That's how we were raised, and I've created a very tough skin for the acting world.” "When it comes to this (music), though, It felt so vulnerable that if I would've done this in my late twenties, I think it would've been very hard for me to not sort of get carried into what people were saying.” "And at this age and where I'm at in my life, I don't have that same fear of rejection anymore. I really just want to share it.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
