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
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
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
After a run of several night events, you begin to appreciate the solitude and the quiet backstage.
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
There are certain things in ancient practices that are not worth adhering to.
Cate Blanchett
People talk about the golden age of Hollywood because of how women were lit then. You could be Joan Crawford and Bette Davis and work well into your 50s, because you were lit and made into a goddess. Now, with everything being sort of gritty, women have this sense of their use-by date.
Cate Blanchett
Some ideas, like what you're going to do with your life, take time to form.
Cate Blanchett
My husband wasn't put off by it - he thought it was hilarious to see me dressed as Dylan! He didn't particularly want to kiss me with stubble all over my face - it felt a bit odd! But I think he's used to it [the make-up process].
Cate Blanchett
Working with Martin Scorsese was an absolute minute-by-minute education without him ever being grandiose about it.
Cate Blanchett
When you go to a concert, part of being there is that you're all hearing the same thing. It's about being in a crowd. If you go to a gig and there are two people there, then it's not the same thing.
Cate Blanchett
Perhaps being a parent has changed career more in that you ask yourself how long you'll be away from home. My eldest child is approaching school age so that becomes more important. They're less portable.
Cate Blanchett
Culture civilizes us, and that's why every single despotic regime has tried to smash [the arts].
Cate Blanchett
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
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
You do get scrutinized in the digital age. You know they're zooming in on every pore, which you've got to forget about.
Cate Blanchett
I am the age that I am and I am trying to do the best with what I got.
Cate Blanchett
I think you need to have a healthy sense of doubt because I think doubt leads to inquiry.
Cate Blanchett
If I'm not good at acting, I'm not good at anything else.
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
