I think the downside of the Internet is that speaking-or writing-has become the point in and of itself.

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

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.

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 think when you have a character as richly drawn, I suppose then there are subconscious, mental notes that you've made.

Image
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.

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.

It seems like people increasingly just can't be by themselves because they're so used to having an epicenter on the Internet that actually exists for other people. Until someone clicks onto your Facebook page, it doesn't mean anything.

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.

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

There's not a long, entrenched tradition of theatergoing in Australia.

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.

I'm scared of actors with a scheme.
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?'

You can't really watch a theater performance by yourself. You can watch a movie by yourself, though.

Fashion is one thing, you kind of can change your silhouette and try this and try that. But I think that with skin care, you know anything that you put into your skin goes into your body, so you want to know it's actually good for you. So I think I don't believe in fashion when it comes to skin care if that makes sense.

You can't be trying to make a film that pleases all people, you know, so it's not a concern of mine.
Cate Blanchett
Image
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.

Image
I think we should stop drinking bottled water. There's no need to be drinking it if you're living in western communities.
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.

Audiences want to see them, and in fact, they earn money. The world is round, people.
