More quotes by Cate Blanchett
Maybe this is my morality coming in again but it was important to me that the actor [ in Notes On A Scandal] was above the age of consent. Although really, what's the difference between 15 and 16? It's the law, yeah, but he's very mature.
Cate Blanchett
Some ideas, like what you're going to do with your life, take time to form.
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'm partial to a nice cup of vodka. I normally just drink it really simple with a little bit of lemon.
Cate Blanchett
Personally, I prefer to play against the look: If a character appears particularly unhinged, with makeup running down her face, I like to play her as if she has it together. I think that juxtaposition makes it so much more interesting.
Cate Blanchett
I often have a few scents depending on if I'm playing a character. The character may be wearing a scent that perhaps I wouldn't wear. We've all got different moods and ways we want to express ourselves scent is a very powerful way to let people in to your secret life.
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
It's not the normal way to look at things but I experienced death at a really young age and because of that it's been part of my mental landscape that death is really very possible.
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
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
I much prefer a natural approach to beauty. You know, Coco Chanel always said to take one thing off before you leave the house, and I think that also applies to makeup.
Cate Blanchett
I think Pilates is great, especially when you can do it with a trainer who keeps you on track.
Cate Blanchett
You do get scrutinized in the digital age. You know they're zooming in on every pore, which you've got to forget about.
Cate Blanchett
There's not a long, entrenched tradition of theatergoing in Australia.
Cate Blanchett
Culture civilizes us, and that's why every single despotic regime has tried to smash [the arts].
Cate Blanchett
I look at someone's face and I see the work before I see the person. I personally don't think people look better when they do it they just look different.
Cate Blanchett
I was quite shocked at the tone I took and the judgements I had of the relationship that she embarked on, you know, sex with a minor. But it's the stuff of great drama.
Cate Blanchett
You learn an enormous lot through failure.
Cate Blanchett
Everyone gets obsessed with anti-aging but I'd rather look as good as I can at the age I am.
Cate Blanchett
There's a lot of anti-Semitism, and it's not just against the Jewish.
