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.

More quotes by Cate Blanchett
I'm not a big believer in linear paths. I would always have these sort of five-year plans and think, 'Ok, I wouldn't mind to try to get here in five years.'
Cate Blanchett
I think marriage is all about timing. Getting married is insanity I mean, it's a risk - who knows if you're going to be together forever? But you both say, 'We're going to take this chance, in the same spirit.
Cate Blanchett
It was only when I realized how actors have the power to move people that I decided to pursue acting as a career.
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
If I had my way, if I was lucky enough, if I could be on the brink my entire life - that great sense of expectation and excitement without the disappointment - that would be the perfect state.
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 never really think about my gender, first and foremost - until a door is closed to you. Until you can see a parallel opportunity with a man in a similar place in his career and you think, That opportunity is not open to me or my fellow actresses. That's interesting.
Cate Blanchett
Look, I live in the modern world as much as anyone else.
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.
Cate Blanchett
My husband keeps me really honest.
Cate Blanchett
My husband wasn't put off by it - he thought it was hilarious to see me dressed as Dylan! He didn't particularly want to kiss me with stubble all over my face - it felt a bit odd! But I think he's used to it [the make-up process].
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
Onscreen, babies and animals are my inspiration. They're so alive and there and not messed up in the head the way I am.
Cate Blanchett
I'm partial to a nice cup of vodka. I normally just drink it really simple with a little bit of lemon.
Cate Blanchett
Things present themselves to you, and it's how you choose to deal with them that reveals who you are. We all say a lot of things, don't we, about who we are and how we think. But in the end it's your actions, how you respond to circumstance that reveals your character.
Cate Blanchett
Audiences want to see them, and in fact, they earn money. The world is round, people.
Cate Blanchett
Planning cities is a necessary but risky business.
Cate Blanchett
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
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
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
