Quote

Things present themselves to you, and it's how you choose to deal with them that reveals who you are. We all say a lot of things, don't we, about who we are and how we think. But in the end it's your actions, how you respond to circumstance that reveals your character.

I think you're peripatetic when you work in this industry. My husband and I are assuming the role of co-artistic directors at the Sydney Theatre Company in 2008. But as long as the film industry will have me, I will have it.

Image
I think the downside of the Internet is that speaking-or writing-has become the point in and of itself.
Cate Blanchett
Image
When you're a performer, of course you want an audience, but it's very, very different from courting fame.
Cate Blanchett
Image

Cate Blanchett
Image
I think referendums are fantastic as long as the question is phrased in a way which is not meant to deliberately confuse or confound people.
