I'm scared of actors with a scheme.

To record something on your iPhone to be watched later, that's like the opposite of theater. The joy of being there is experiencing it with other people. It doesn't translate onto your phone. It's about being present.
Cate Blanchett
Image
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.
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.

My everyday beauty routine is always rushed and pretty simple.

I don't have a sense of entitlement or that I deserve this. You'd be surprised at the lack of competition between nominees - I think a lot of it's imposed from the outside. Can I have my champagne now?

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
The notion of fate and destiny is a very Greek concept. Working in the theater you do think a lot about that, because as a storyteller you do think, 'At what point was this always going to happen and what part have I got a hand in being able to change things?'
Cate Blanchett
Image
When I was younger, I was actually looking forward to getting older, to have more insight, more understanding.
Cate Blanchett
Image
I couldn't possibly have played someone with feelings towards a woman unless I had those feelings myself.
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'm the age I am, but my skin is in pretty good condition because I've been consistent with my skincare.

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

Image
There's a lot of anti-Semitism, and it's not just against the Jewish.
Cate Blanchett
Image
I think when you fall in love, whether you're heterosexual, transgender, gay, lesbian, whatever, straight, you feel like it's happening to you for the first time.

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.
