Quote

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.

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.

You have to surrender less when you see a film than when you go and see something live.
Cate Blanchett
Image
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.

My husband keeps me really honest.

I like to put perfume on my pulse points, but I also love the way you can sense it - there is an atmosphere that comes from releasing a scent in to the world - it's a primal thing. I spray around me, not just on me, and it lingers in the room after I leave.

You learn an enormous lot through failure.

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.

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.'

I think most beauty tips that work and last are kind of old.

There's an expression in Australia that's called 'Go Bush,' which means to get out of the city and relax. I try and 'go bush' to places where there's no cell reception. But, I don't get to do that often, so for the most part, it's just a state of mind.

Some ideas, like what you're going to do with your life, take time to form.

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

If you only exercise your soloist muscles, the other muscles quickly atrophy.
Cate Blanchett
Image
I think referendums are fantastic as long as the question is phrased in a way which is not meant to deliberately confuse or confound people.
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.

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

It's interesting when you get those roles, which seem like nothing on the page, and you kind of subvert them. It's hard to say no.

The less one can think about oneself, the more interesting and attractive one becomes.

Wouldn't it be nice if the internet blew up?
