I love strange choices. I'm always interested in people who depart from what is expected of them and go into new territory.

More quotes by 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
Things present themselves to you, and it's how you choose to deal with them that reveals who you are. We all say a lot of things, don't we, about who we are and how we think. But in the end it's your actions, how you respond to circumstance that reveals your character.
Cate Blanchett
Planning cities is a necessary but risky business.
Cate Blanchett
I'm always without sleep. I've got two kids. I understand sleep deprivation on a profound level.
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
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'm partial to a nice cup of vodka. I normally just drink it really simple with a little bit of lemon.
Cate Blanchett
I'm not focused on what other people think of me.
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
Fashion is one thing, you kind of can change your silhouette and try this and try that. But I think that with skin care, you know anything that you put into your skin goes into your body, so you want to know it's actually good for you. So I think I don't believe in fashion when it comes to skin care if that makes sense.
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
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
Well, I've never looked upon myself as being a beauty, per se.
Cate Blanchett
You can't be trying to make a film that pleases all people, you know, so it's not a concern of mine.
Cate Blanchett
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
When I was younger, I was actually looking forward to getting older, to have more insight, more understanding.
Cate Blanchett
I feel like I've been marinated in Australian theatre.
Cate Blanchett
When you fall in love with someone, you're not really changing at all. You're really just reliving something that already happened at some point.
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
The first thing is to accept that theater is an unknown. If you go to a concert, you know the music. If you go to an art show, you can literally see the art on your phone before you see it in person. But with theater, often times people aren't prepared to take risks, even though that's exactly what's great about it.
