- Legendary actress Kathy Bates has probably lost count of how many awards she has been nominated for and won. But very few people know about her battles with cancer, her family history of suicide attempts, or her own struggles with PTSD and depression.
On this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, Kathy Bates talks about gratitude, moments of grace, and the fact that you don’t have to be perfect to be remarkable. Along the way she tells stories of healing and tragedy, life and death, and memorably explains why she always thanks the crew.

“That’s why I always thank the crew. I’d be dancing around in an empty parking lot in my underwear just spouting lines without everybody. Even marketing people, PR people, everybody makes a movie.” [42:27]

Kathy Bates has always been an all time favorite. As GREAT as she is, she still remains humble. Her humility is so intriguing.
Yeah, and she did ok too. Normally women need men to help them to figure out what they want to say.
Same for me Bella... I’ve always loved her... now knowing her personal story, I love and respect her even more 💕🙏🏾💕
He’s so respectful toward her. He lets her lead. Love it.
Zahra Aziz
I imagine most let her lead 😁
He does with all his guests. Tom is amazing. If you haven't already watch all his interviews. You will learn so much.
Kath "Tiger" Bates, this was awesome. Was on my way to work and tears were running down my cheeks. Will watch this again when I get home! Thank you.
After watching this interview my level of respect for Kathy is even higher now. Such a great woman with so much life wisdom.
She looks enlightened and SPECTACULAR. You go girl. Lots if love sent your way.
I love how Tom is such a good listener.
I already loved her as an actress, but seeing how she is as a person makes her that much more amazing 🙌🏻✨
Seeing how she is as a person? You mean this piece of advertisement meant to make you think she is a certain way, rather than the shit evil characters she plays on tv. I don't think I ever met somebody so stupid who thought they actually were seeing a real person in a planned scripted interview. You internet educated children never cease to amaze me
John D ,your comment is endearing! I agree, seeing someone perform and share their talents and gifts is wonderful. But seeing an interview when they actually share themselves and their life experiences is definitely a gift for those of us that admire them. Wonderful interview! Wonderful lady!
@@stephenhargrave7922 Whether it's true or not, the value I get by taking the points I feel are worth utilizing is what's important to me with these types of interviews. I agree that we should be skeptical, and a lot of what she said is likely just regurgitated scripted points on a checklist to make her image/brand look good, but I always hope that there is at least a small but of truth to some of what she says. That's what I focus on. Using ideas and stories that can improve my own life in some way.
So thank you for your opinion, and I hope whatever you work on in life is at or gets to a point of success that you feel fulfilled by :) And I feel flattered that I amazed you! ☺️
J Carver I’m very curious about the potential true motives behind the show itself, and I’ve been trying to find some opinions about what it is really meant to be used for. I’d love to hear more of your thoughts on how it’s “sickening”?
Do you feel that it’s purely being used as a medium for the guests to sell their product and improve their brand to the public?
Do you think Tom is purely using it as a way to make a bigger name for himself and create a platform that gains more for himself by seducing us with “improvement” and “self-help”?
Id love to hear anyone’s opinion for either side, since none of us should be entirely dogmatic about our beliefs.
Thanks in advance to anyone who might respond :)
My thoughts exactly as I was watching this… I loved her as an actress but know I love her as a person 🥀🥰
I could listen to Kathy Bates for DAYS - wonderful interview. Thank you Tom.
She is such an amazing actress and this episode was great! She has this way to share life learning moments and anecdotes that it was just so captivating and easy to listen. Thank you for this graceful morning!
This show will be end up on Netflix - incredible work Tom.
Lmao
I doubt he’d want that haha!
He'd probably create his own streaming service or leverage an already exsisiting one that has shows that resonate with his show. This show doesn't hit me as "netflix material" tbh.
I'd personally sign up on Netflix just for that show. Till then, I'll keep watching here
It will become the next Netflix
Kathy Bates is grace. I heard some of this story in another interview, and this extended story touches my inner self with gratitude. I suffer from chronic fatigue for three years at 71. A time which is my time to learn to live listening to what I need, after serving a narcissistic mother all my life. She finally died in 2020, at 96. Then my husband has been laid off from his truck driving job for ageism. I’m in fear because I’m the fixer with no energy to fix. I will watch this over and over to hear this insight. Thank you❤This is a channel of hope. Thank you
My godddddd TOMMMMMM THIS IS HUGE!! She is such an inspiration here in Puerto Rico. Thank you soooo much for interview!!
Few interviews today drill deep into the origins of an individual's significance. Here we have sweet exposure to a truly authentic and enduring effect. Observe the comments. Do you see that we bring to life the gifts, brutally toxic or profoundly delightful, for others to ponder, choose between and grow thereby? I am fed by all commenters. Glean well, die smiling.
I relate to Kathy so much! My parents were older when they had me, my siblings were 12 and 14 years older than me. Her parents said same things to me about learning all this stuff then we die, not behaving “common”. I also wish my mom had access to the antidepressants that have helped me so much. Really connected to her! Thank you Tom! Namaste
Dianne Schoenberg yes. This ...and her story ‘hit close to home’ Namaste 💜
When Kathy Bates starred in "Fried Green Tomatoes"- it instantly became one of my favorite movies~she helped us all go through every phase of a woman's life...this whole movie!! She is genuine
YEEEAAA BUDDY... Kathy Bates is my favorite actress of all time. I've seen all her movies, the first roll I ever saw her in was "Misery" and last night I was watching "American Horror Story" for the 3rd time and Kathy is freaking awesome. I love her style so much because she is so raw and real and she reminds me of how my grandma raised me. INTENSE!!! I also read about her comeback story in time magazine. She is an amazing actress. Thanks for sharing this interview tom.
Ya I know right. The way she sucks off the energy of Jessica Laine like a parasite. It's inspiring to emotional vampires everywhere!
@@stephenhargrave7922 Yep, exactily!!
What a warm, kind, gentle, graceful icon. This was amazing ❤️
Wow what a woman……thank you Tom for bringing Kathy to us… and thank you for being such a great interviewer and audience.
It's inspiring when people are real about their human insecurities and share what touches their spirit to keep going. What I admire Kathy Bates most for, she put herself in front of the camera no matter what her size or how she felt about herself. She is incredibly relatable because of her imperfection.
Arguably one of the most helpful, inspiring and usable channels ever created anywhere.
Thank you xx
Martin Fantastic easily one of***
This person is a Real Badass.⚡️⚡️ Finally a real human Badass who isn’t talking abt bio-hacking or chasing external ideologies.

Kathy Bates is such a wonderful human being, truly extraordinary! Really enjoyed watching this inspiring interview, thank you Tom!
Ms. Bates...you are a class act. Thank you for your insight. Thank you for your candor.
One actress and individual that I would truly live to have the day with. So remarkable.
Thank you Tom & YT platform for giving us miracles like this…. The ever giving tree 💕
We love you kathy bates and dont worry your impact is being fulfilled everyday. Glad to have you!
My partner and I own a sober living in Malibu, and every Sunday evening we sit down with our clients to watch an episode of Impact Theory. We have been doing this for about the last year and a half out of the almost 8 years that we have been operating; and I must share with you that within this time, our occupancy rate has gone from an average of 63% to 87% full, and the average length of stay of each client (which often includes length of sobriety as long as the client stays sober once they move out) has increased from 3.8 months to 5.5 months! Holding this Impact Theory gathering is the one change for the better that we made starting in September 2018, and we attribute this progress to our Sunday night meetings. To Tom, to everyone at Impact Theory, and to your interviewees, you all are helping us help others stay sober for longer, and we sincerely thank you!
I could listen to her all day long! Great interview!
Kudos to this woman for making a huge difference in our world. I’ve always liked her for being brave, talented and strong
This woman should run as a senator for real! She has people skills locked in for sure! Amazing woman!!!
Tom, your ability to be quiet at the right times is damn near legendary bro. Well done!
Kathy Bates is so humble and so like a good neighbor next door!
I forgot to thank you for this inspirational interview. For all us ladies still working at our crafts later in life this was extremely inspirational. Thank you Tom for honoring older women in this way!!!
Wow. I've always loved Kathy Bates as an actor and now EVEN MORE as a human being. She is so extraordinary.
She's a gem of an actor. All time great.
Impact theory is the legacy that carries Tom's honesty, empathy n intelligence. Tom, u r one of the nicest person in the world 😍! I should say his power to connect with his guests is extra ordinary 👍! he brings out the best in each n every episode 🌸.
Love, respect n appreciation to Kathy 🙏. Truly legend ❤️
Grace is unmerited favor, a gift from God. Genuinely connecting with people is also a wonderful gift.

Thank you. I am a pediatric nurse that will Never give up on my skills of acting. You were always my idol.
It is our choice to see life as a teacher! No matter what it is we're going through there will always something to be grateful for 💕
I’ve never been into actors as much as movie lovers, but I definitely love her work and characters, what a wonderful person!
Just when you think you love Kathy Bates you realised how much more you can love her and appreciate her, she’s such a role model for so many or should be
This interview just confirms how wonderful and amazing I think Kathy Bates is! - I truly appreciate how transparent and vulnerable she is about her experiences, this is how you build those connections. - Thank you for sharing this video!
This was incredible. I LOVE how he just lets her talk.
'you want to illuminate someone and not their career' that is it... That is the point we are missing in our lives today... We look at the glitz and not the essence of an individual in our interactions today..
Impact Theory team you are the best..... Thank you for what you bring to us through these conversations...
Think you've given us the message Kathy, don't worry they forget the tent dresses. The unsinkable Kathy Bates~ such a legend, thank you for being vulnerable.
What a woman. Thank you Kathy for the efforts on the part of lymphedema, which I have just been diagnosed with and having success with treatment so far.
Thank you, there is something so powerful about listening to the struggles of people you admire. Thank you for sharing.
What a lovely woman. Everything a star should be. I love her spirit. I should change that, everything a human should be. She is one of my favorites. Greatness and so humble. A true star! Thank you for such inspiration!
Thank you for everything, Kathy ❤️ your words, actions, and work are remarkable!
Kathy Bates is my favourite. She has such a way about her, you can feel everything she says. I cried and laughed watching this. She's brilliant. Well done @tombilyeu for getting her on the show. Amazing as always x
She absolutely right: it's not a show, it's so much more Tom! Thank you:)
She's overwhelmingly magnificent. A true artist.
Great conversation! I have always loved Kathy Bates, even more so now.
Tom & his wife are a blessing to all who 'listen.'
She is one my favourite actors and now I just love her as a person ..so deep ,personal ..yes remarkable!
Great to see another guest from the acting industry rather than the usual guests you see on other business & self-help podcasts. More!
Thank you Kathy Bates and Tom Bilyeu for a thoroughly fulfilling, riveting, moving, and inspiring conversation. #grateful
Wow! You outdid yourself Tom. Never have I clicked and liked so fast!!
Such a great interview. I've been a fan of Kathy the actress, now the person. Wow.
Love Kathy Bates as an actress she is # 1,but after hearing her speak she is humble a wonderful caring human being,God bless you❤ always!!
Wow! Very much appreciate this interview with the legendary Kathy Bates and her words of wisdom, which resonate with my spirit. Thank you Tom for having her on your show, and for publishing significant parts of the interview, especially her quotes. Wishing you, her and all a joyous, healthy and peaceful holiday season and the best for the New Year.
What I find remarkable in all the episodes of Impact Theory, regardless of who the guest is, is the major role that their families, their upbringing have in their lives. Whether it was a great experience ,with the best memories, or somehow dark and painful, with scars that are still there, we all carry them for life.
What a powerful and inspirational sharing . I am so moved watching this. Thank you from my heart.
Wow Tom I love your show love you and your mission. Love this episode I'm 57 and know my future is unlimited❣
Tom, what an amazing show! I've always loved Kathy's work. She is amazing
You had me at ”Coming up”... When K Bates said that ”this is not a show, it is a connection”... So real.
One if the best Kathy Bates💪🏾👍🏾👍🏾
This was a game-changer for me! I am an actor and discouragement in the process seems to be a daily occurrence. This was so inspiring and again I am reminded that I am on the right track! Thanks, Kat and Tom!! This blessed me!
Wishing you much success, happiness, health and wealth Lynnette Rene Doby. We all need encouragement sometimes. I, too found this most encouraging, for different reasons. Definitely sharing this with others who might appreciate it as well. Namaste.
We’re all in the orchestra, baby. Bless you Tom for making this stellar interview happen.
Everyone needs to watch the film ‘Misery’. Stunning actress. Great respect ✊
What another amazing guest and show! Love Impact Theory, love Tom & Lisa and what they have created. Looking forward to starting my IT university courses. Thank you IT team.
Kathy, Tom nailed it...you are REMARKABLE 💕 who cares about what size you are! I love you and your smile is stunning 😍 excited to watch anything you do and this interview was so much fun to watch ✨
