I look at someone's face and I see the work before I see the person. I personally don't think people look better when they do it they just look different.

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 think the downside of the Internet is that speaking-or writing-has become the point in and of itself.
Cate Blanchett
Image
My kids don't watch any TV, but they watch videos and films. I'm sure they watch it at friends' houses.
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.'

Image
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
Image
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
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 the terrifying thing is you see all these people who go to the same cosmetic surgeon, and they end up, after a while, looking like everyone.
Cate Blanchett
Image
Audiences want to see them, and in fact, they earn money. The world is round, people.
Cate Blanchett
Image
The less one can think about oneself, the more interesting and attractive one becomes.
Cate Blanchett
Image
When you're a performer, of course you want an audience, but it's very, very different from courting fame.
Cate Blanchett
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Look, I live in the modern world as much as anyone else.
Cate Blanchett
Image
I think we should all feel lucky and blessed that people are still, in this day and age, getting in their cars with other people and driving to a location and paying money to sit in a theater and watch a play.
Cate Blanchett
Image
I discovered early on that some performers live their life in order to act, so all their relationships are simply an experience that they can feed back into their work. Which I find vampiric.
