More quotes by Cate Blanchett
I love those moments on stage, on screen and in life when you dispense with language, when you sort of transcend it in a way, and certainly the experience of falling in love, I think, defies words, which is why poets, painters, musicians, actors have tried to describe that feeling, writers have just tried to put words to that.
Cate Blanchett
Becoming artistic directors is an enormous responsibility and not one that we take lightly.
Cate Blanchett
After a run of several night events, you begin to appreciate the solitude and the quiet backstage.
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
When you're a performer, of course you want an audience, but it's very, very different from courting fame.
Cate Blanchett
I was but three when he passed by, but I shall be grateful until the day I die.
Cate Blanchett
I'm the age I am, but my skin is in pretty good condition because I've been consistent with my skincare.
Cate Blanchett
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
If you over plan New Year's Eve it's going to be a disaster so you have to be alive to changes.
Cate Blanchett
Please, I need you to save my ass.
Cate Blanchett
I believe that a creative career is only as good as the risks that you take with it.
Cate Blanchett
I could do a thousand films that are easy for me to do-that's if I don't fall in the next year, because everyone's about to fall. What's so funny is you look at all us young guys and we're already thinking, Well, I'm going to branch out into directing, and it's all going to be this and that.
Cate Blanchett
We have to band together, but the thing in America is that people are terrified of losing their jobs... Maybe California needs to secede. The only thing that'll make any difference is the money... Tax dollars and losing that amount of money. It's one of the most economically powerful states, isn't it? That's where it hurts.
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
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
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
Don't you find that work, if you love it, is actually really invigorating?
Cate Blanchett
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
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.
Cate Blanchett
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.
