More quotes by Cate Blanchett
I love those moments on stage, on screen and in life when you dispense with language, when you sort of transcend it in a way, and certainly the experience of falling in love, I think, defies words, which is why poets, painters, musicians, actors have tried to describe that feeling, writers have just tried to put words to that.
Cate Blanchett
I do tend to move on anyway. This is a part of my life, but it doesn't rule my life.
Cate Blanchett
Onscreen, babies and animals are my inspiration. They're so alive and there and not messed up in the head the way I am.

That's why so many people want to play Hamlet: because it's a completely demarked role, and the actor playing it has to be prepared, through the language, to allow the audience to see into who he is.
Cate Blanchett
I think when you have a character as richly drawn, I suppose then there are subconscious, mental notes that you've made.
Cate Blanchett
There's a lot of anti-Semitism, and it's not just against the Jewish.

Cate Blanchett
I think that's what I love about my life. There's no maniacal master plan. It's just unfolding before me.
Cate Blanchett
You have to surrender less when you see a film than when you go and see something live.
Cate Blanchett
Working with Martin Scorsese was an absolute minute-by-minute education without him ever being grandiose about it.
Cate Blanchett
I am the age that I am and I am trying to do the best with what I got.
Cate Blanchett
It's interesting when you get those roles, which seem like nothing on the page, and you kind of subvert them. It's hard to say no.
Cate Blanchett
I finally had a honeymoon with my husband in Italy.
Cate Blanchett
If you think about Audrey Hepburn, I think she became more beautiful when she stopped being an actress and started working with humanitarian campaigns. The more engaged you can become the more you can shed your self-consciousness.
Cate Blanchett
People talk about the golden age of Hollywood because of how women were lit then. You could be Joan Crawford and Bette Davis and work well into your 50s, because you were lit and made into a goddess. Now, with everything being sort of gritty, women have this sense of their use-by date.
Cate Blanchett
There are certain things in ancient practices that are not worth adhering to.

The one thing that all great cities have in common is that they are all different
Cate Blanchett
I think you need to have a healthy sense of doubt because I think doubt leads to inquiry.
