Beautiful actress Kate Hudson confessed she's driven by sexual energy and blames her sensuality for making her successful. Kate, married with Chris Robinson, also thanked her parents for teaching her the joy of sex.

She revealed: "Sexual energy really does drive me. Not just sex itself, I'm talking about sexual energy. Whereas for someone like my husband, it's his mind - his top chakra - that drives him.

"My mother's the same as me. Her energy is very sensual, very sexual."

Kate, the daughter of actress Goldie Hawn and musician Bill Hudson, revealed in an interview with Britain's Night and Day magazine: "My parents always said, 'Sex is the best thing in the world. It is so great, so much fun. When you start having it you're going to love it. But it's that much better when you love somebody, so just remember that'"

Meanwhile, Kate Hudson joins Owen Wilson in the Universal Pictures comedy "You, Me and Dupree", directed by Joe and Anthony Russo. Shooting of the movie based on the script of Mike LeSieuris is scheduled to begin in August.

Kate Hudson, born in April 19, 1979, is the daughter of actress Goldie Hawn and musician Bill Hudson, and sister of actor Oliver Hudson. In 2000 she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress with her role as Penny Lane in Cameron Crowe's "Almost Famous".

She married Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson and gave birth to their son, Ryder Russell Robinson, on January 7, 2004.
