Kate Hudson Talks Being Single

Kate Hudson recently sat down for an interview with Harper's Bazaar, where she talked about being single. The magazine quotes her as follows:

"It's nice to get acquainted with myself alone. You know, the goal when you get into a relationship is not to be out of the relationship. It's to try to stay in the relationship. But if it doesn't work, you can't force those things. I really do feel very lucky. I’ve had my kids and my relationships. I've set my life down — I’m in my house, and I'm alone with my children — and I'm at peace, and that's a really nice feeling. All I really want in my life is to maintain that."

And on her past relationships:

"It's hard to let go of something, even when you know that it's not right. I’ve chosen something in my life that I'm very comfortable with that goes against a lot of people's more traditional feelings. If something's not right, I don't believe in maintaining something for the sake of what's considered a traditional family, because I believe that there are different ways to raise children. It's far more effective to raise children in happy homes."
