More quotes by Cate Blanchett
The thing I love about live performance the most, is that the doors are closed, the lights are turned down, and the audience has to be reverential to what's happening onstage.
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
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.
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
The less one can think about oneself, the more interesting and attractive one becomes.
Cate Blanchett
I couldn't possibly have played someone with feelings towards a woman unless I had those feelings myself.
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
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
Onscreen, babies and animals are my inspiration. They're so alive and there and not messed up in the head the way I am.
Cate Blanchett
I'm scared of actors with a scheme.
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 feel like I've been marinated in Australian theatre.
Cate Blanchett
My husband wasn't put off by it - he thought it was hilarious to see me dressed as Dylan! He didn't particularly want to kiss me with stubble all over my face - it felt a bit odd! But I think he's used to it [the make-up process].
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
Culture civilizes us, and that's why every single despotic regime has tried to smash [the arts].
Cate Blanchett
Well, I've never looked upon myself as being a beauty, per se.
Cate Blanchett
Inquiry and curiosity is really important in any profession, but definitely in what I do. And in parallel you also need to be confident enough to try things. So it's a tricky thing sometimes to balance those two states.
Cate Blanchett
Look, I live in the modern world as much as anyone else.
Cate Blanchett
I think we should stop drinking bottled water. There's no need to be drinking it if you're living in western communities.
