More quotes by 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
If you think about Audrey Hepburn, I think she became more beautiful when she stopped being an actress and started working with humanitarian campaigns. The more engaged you can become the more you can shed your self-consciousness.
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
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
Look, it's one of the great mysteries of the world, I cannot answer that question. I think I'm vaguely blonde. To be perfectly frank, I don't know.
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
It was only when I realized how actors have the power to move people that I decided to pursue acting as a career.
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 don't think about being beautiful or not being beautiful. ... It's more about feeling confident inside your own skin really and thinking about yourself as little as possible.
Cate Blanchett
There's a lot of anti-Semitism, and it's not just against the Jewish.
Cate Blanchett
My kids don't watch any TV, but they watch videos and films. I'm sure they watch it at friends' houses.
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
Audiences want to see them, and in fact, they earn money. The world is round, people.
Cate Blanchett
I think often women can feel isolated and feel like they get into a rut and don't quite know how to get out of it.
Cate Blanchett
Particularly at the moment, it's an incredibly optimistic thing to bring children into the world.
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 when you have a character as richly drawn, I suppose then there are subconscious, mental notes that you've made.
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
I'm scared of actors with a scheme.
