Quote

Sometimes I think it's so good not to win those things. And, anyway, who wants to peak when they're 28?

More quotes by 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.
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
Every director works differently.
Cate Blanchett
Image
The less one can think about oneself, the more interesting and attractive one becomes.
Cate Blanchett
Image
As an actor I suppose you're constantly observing. I don't sit in restaurants making notes, I don't live my life in order to then feed it into my work.
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
If I had my way, if I was lucky enough, if I could be on the brink my entire life - that great sense of expectation and excitement without the disappointment - that would be the perfect state.
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
When I see daughters with their fathers I wonder what that would be like, although not in a way that immobilises me.
Cate Blanchett
Image
I love strange choices. I'm always interested in people who depart from what is expected of them and go into new territory.
Cate Blanchett
Image
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
Image
I'm so misunderstood!
Cate Blanchett
Image
I think when you have a character as richly drawn, I suppose then there are subconscious, mental notes that you've made.
Cate Blanchett
Image
I think you're peripatetic when you work in this industry. My husband and I are assuming the role of co-artistic directors at the Sydney Theatre Company in 2008. But as long as the film industry will have me, I will have it.
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
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
Image
Becoming artistic directors is an enormous responsibility and not one that we take lightly.
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.
Cate Blanchett
Image
What you're trying to do as an actor is somehow trick yourself into believing that these words have never been said, and so you've got to discover them for the first time.
Cate Blanchett
Image
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.
