If I had my way, if I was lucky enough, if I could be on the brink my entire life - that great sense of expectation and excitement without the disappointment - that would be the perfect state.

More quotes by Cate Blanchett
I discovered early on that some performers live their life in order to act, so all their relationships are simply an experience that they can feed back into their work. Which I find vampiric.
Cate Blanchett
When you're a performer, of course you want an audience, but it's very, very different from courting fame.
Cate Blanchett
I love theatre - it's where I started - and I've directed a play myself. I'm not sure if I want to direct a film, but certainly, as an actress, I'm always thinking, 'Surely this must be my last film.'
Cate Blanchett
I'm the age I am, but my skin is in pretty good condition because I've been consistent with my skincare.
Cate Blanchett
I think the downside of the Internet is that speaking-or writing-has become the point in and of itself.
Cate Blanchett
Perhaps being a parent has changed career more in that you ask yourself how long you'll be away from home. My eldest child is approaching school age so that becomes more important. They're less portable.
Cate Blanchett
Yaron has elevated the way Australia perceives circus, both nationally and internationally ... I mean remarkable.
Cate Blanchett
His [Gough Whitlam's] effect on the geo-cultural-political map of Australia is so vast that wherever you stick the pin in you get a wealth of Gough's legacy.
Cate Blanchett
There's not a long, entrenched tradition of theatergoing in Australia.
Cate Blanchett
I'm not sitting on a soapbox telling women what they should and shouldn't do, but I know what works for me.
Cate Blanchett
I feel like I've been marinated in Australian theatre.
Cate Blanchett
There's an expression in Australia that's called 'Go Bush,' which means to get out of the city and relax. I try and 'go bush' to places where there's no cell reception. But, I don't get to do that often, so for the most part, it's just a state of mind.
Cate Blanchett
I love strange choices. I'm always interested in people who depart from what is expected of them and go into new territory.
Cate Blanchett
I have the embarrassing thing where often if you're watching a film, you kind of go through the emotions and the thought stages that your character went through, but you sort of do it with Tourette's. So I end up often crying when I'm crying, and looking angry when I'm looking angry, so it's pretty ugly.
Cate Blanchett
My husband keeps me really honest.
Cate Blanchett
I'm not focused on what other people think of me.
Cate Blanchett
Working with Martin Scorsese was an absolute minute-by-minute education without him ever being grandiose about it.
Cate Blanchett
When you're directing something, you absolutely have to be involved in all layers of the process.
Cate Blanchett
The more you do it, the more you learn to concentrate, as a child does, incredibly intensively and then you sort of have to relax. I remember the first film I did, the lead actor would in between scenes be reading a newspaper or sleeping and I'd think, 'How can you do that?'
Cate Blanchett
You can't really watch a theater performance by yourself. You can watch a movie by yourself, though.
