Don't you find that work, if you love it, is actually really invigorating?
Cate Blanchett
Image
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
Image
I think most beauty tips that work and last are kind of old.
Cate Blanchett
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Audiences want to see them, and in fact, they earn money. The world is round, people.
Cate Blanchett
Image
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?'

Mind the gap - it's the distance between life as you dream it and life as it is.

There's not a long, entrenched tradition of theatergoing in Australia.

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.

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.

Image
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.

For me, I think the bigger something is, the more difficult it is to make it nimble and fleet afoot.
Cate Blanchett
Image
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
Image
I'm not sitting on a soapbox telling women what they should and shouldn't do, but I know what works for me.
Cate Blanchett
Image
I've reprised roles in the theatre, which is somehow more accepted, and where one can automatically go deeper and further into the role.

Image
The more you do it, the more you learn to concentrate, as a child does, incredibly intensively and then you sort of have to relax. I remember the first film I did, the lead actor would in between scenes be reading a newspaper or sleeping and I'd think, 'How can you do that?'
Cate Blanchett
Image
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

I do tend to move on anyway. This is a part of my life, but it doesn't rule my life.
