Quote

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].

I feel like I've been marinated in Australian theatre.
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.

Image
I'm the age I am, but my skin is in pretty good condition because I've been consistent with my skincare.

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.

I believe that a creative career is only as good as the risks that you take with it.

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.

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.'

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
Image
I think you need to have a healthy sense of doubt because I think doubt leads to inquiry.
Cate Blanchett
Image
I think good theaters are really important. They allow you to exist in a space with other people.
Cate Blanchett
Image
After a run of several night events, you begin to appreciate the solitude and the quiet backstage.
Cate Blanchett
Image
If you only exercise your soloist muscles, the other muscles quickly atrophy.
Cate Blanchett
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
You have to surrender less when you see a film than when you go and see something live.
Cate Blanchett
Image
I'm of the opinion that it's okay to be silent, to not speak if you don't have anything to say.
Cate Blanchett
Image
Inquiry and curiosity is really important in any profession, but definitely in what I do. And in parallel you also need to be confident enough to try things. So it's a tricky thing sometimes to balance those two states.
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.

His [Gough Whitlam's] effect on the geo-cultural-political map of Australia is so vast that wherever you stick the pin in you get a wealth of Gough's legacy.

When I was younger, I was actually looking forward to getting older, to have more insight, more understanding.

I'm partial to a nice cup of vodka. I normally just drink it really simple with a little bit of lemon.
