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.

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
The notion of fate and destiny is a very Greek concept. Working in the theater you do think a lot about that, because as a storyteller you do think, 'At what point was this always going to happen and what part have I got a hand in being able to change things?'
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.

I like to put perfume on my pulse points, but I also love the way you can sense it - there is an atmosphere that comes from releasing a scent in to the world - it's a primal thing. I spray around me, not just on me, and it lingers in the room after I leave.
Cate Blanchett
When you're a performer, of course you want an audience, but it's very, very different from courting fame.
Cate Blanchett
Working with Martin Scorsese was an absolute minute-by-minute education without him ever being grandiose about it.
Cate Blanchett
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 it's always good to take on things that at first seem bigger than you. Then you just try and surmount them.
Cate Blanchett
The interesting thing for me about the debate about same-sex marriage ... is that it's one of those issues where it has no impact on anyone apart from the people that it impacts upon. So I find it quite bewildering that it's - that it's so complicated for people.
Cate Blanchett
Every director works differently.
Cate Blanchett
I'm of the opinion that it's okay to be silent, to not speak if you don't have anything to say.
Cate Blanchett
There are certain things in ancient practices that are not worth adhering to.
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 feel like I've been marinated in Australian theatre.
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.
Cate Blanchett
What you're trying to do as an actor is somehow trick yourself into believing that these words have never been said, and so you've got to discover them for the first time.
Cate Blanchett
I don't consciously think of how parenthood has changed me but I'm sure it must have.
