More quotes by Cate Blanchett
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.
Cate Blanchett
If I'm not good at acting, I'm not good at anything else.
Cate Blanchett
I think you're peripatetic when you work in this industry. My husband and I are assuming the role of co-artistic directors at the Sydney Theatre Company in 2008. But as long as the film industry will have me, I will have it.
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
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?
Cate Blanchett
The interesting thing for me about the debate about same-sex marriage ... is that it's one of those issues where it has no impact on anyone apart from the people that it impacts upon. So I find it quite bewildering that it's - that it's so complicated for people.
Cate Blanchett
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
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.
Cate Blanchett
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.
Cate Blanchett
Mind the gap - it's the distance between life as you dream it and life as it is.
Cate Blanchett
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.
Cate Blanchett
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.
Cate Blanchett
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.
Cate Blanchett
I believe that a creative career is only as good as the risks that you take with it.
Cate Blanchett
I'm not interested in saying what people should and shouldn't do. It depends on how people feel about themselves. I suppose personally if you do anything out of fear or to mask who you are, then that's a bit scary. You've got to work with what you got.
Cate Blanchett
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.'
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.
Cate Blanchett
I think that's what I love about my life. There's no maniacal master plan. It's just unfolding before me.
Cate Blanchett
Absolutely, I think that is where a scent is so powerful because it harnesses our memory and our memory is a very emotional place. I do like the smell of excitement.
Cate Blanchett
I think you need to have a healthy sense of doubt because I think doubt leads to inquiry.
Cate Blanchett
