More quotes by Cate Blanchett
The less one can think about oneself, the more interesting and attractive one becomes.
Cate Blanchett
I think Pilates is great, especially when you can do it with a trainer who keeps you on track.
Cate Blanchett
I think you need to have a healthy sense of doubt because I think doubt leads to inquiry.
Cate Blanchett
The lack of racial diversity and gender diversity and the lack of female directors - those are not fashionable issues. And they're not issues that reside solely within the film industry.
Cate Blanchett
If I'm not good at acting, I'm not good at anything else.
Cate Blanchett
I'm not focused on what other people think of me.
Cate Blanchett
Please, I need you to save my ass.
Cate Blanchett
There are certain things in ancient practices that are not worth adhering to.
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
We have to band together, but the thing in America is that people are terrified of losing their jobs... Maybe California needs to secede. The only thing that'll make any difference is the money... Tax dollars and losing that amount of money. It's one of the most economically powerful states, isn't it? That's where it hurts.
Cate Blanchett
There's not a long, entrenched tradition of theatergoing in Australia.
Cate Blanchett
I'm not interested in saying what people should and shouldn't do. It depends on how people feel about themselves. I suppose personally if you do anything out of fear or to mask who you are, then that's a bit scary. You've got to work with what you got.
Cate Blanchett
I don't have a sense of entitlement or that I deserve this. You'd be surprised at the lack of competition between nominees - I think a lot of it's imposed from the outside. Can I have my champagne now?
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
Don't you find that work, if you love it, is actually really invigorating?
Cate Blanchett
Some ideas, like what you're going to do with your life, take time to form.
Cate Blanchett
What I love about the theater is that you know who you're acting for: your audience. And the thing I find really hard in film is, you don't. The audience is invisible. And we're sitting there, hoping there's other people out there.
Cate Blanchett
One of my favorite moments is onstage, when you see a dancer leap, and you think they're flying, and then they fall. It's that moment of suspension that you look for, and sometimes you get it and sometimes you don't.
Cate Blanchett
I think it's always good to take on things that at first seem bigger than you. Then you just try and surmount them.
Cate Blanchett
I'm always without sleep. I've got two kids. I understand sleep deprivation on a profound level.
