More quotes by 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
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
I couldn't possibly have played someone with feelings towards a woman unless I had those feelings myself.
Cate Blanchett
You can't really watch a theater performance by yourself. You can watch a movie by yourself, though.
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
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
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
A film is not a documentary. And what's wonderful about film is that it's a real provocation for people. I never, ever see film as being an absolute version of the truth.
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
Some ideas, like what you're going to do with your life, take time to form.
Cate Blanchett
Working with Martin Scorsese was an absolute minute-by-minute education without him ever being grandiose about it.
Cate Blanchett
When I was younger, I was actually looking forward to getting older, to have more insight, more understanding.
Cate Blanchett
I've reprised roles in the theatre, which is somehow more accepted, and where one can automatically go deeper and further into the role.
Cate Blanchett
There are certain things in ancient practices that are not worth adhering to.
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
There's not a long, entrenched tradition of theatergoing in Australia.
Cate Blanchett
I'm not a big believer in linear paths. I would always have these sort of five-year plans and think, 'Ok, I wouldn't mind to try to get here in five years.'
Cate Blanchett
Absolutely, I think that is where a scent is so powerful because it harnesses our memory and our memory is a very emotional place. I do like the smell of excitement.
Cate Blanchett
Culture civilizes us, and that's why every single despotic regime has tried to smash [the arts].
