Onscreen, babies and animals are my inspiration. They're so alive and there and not messed up in the head the way I am.

More quotes by 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'm not sitting on a soapbox telling women what they should and shouldn't do, but I know what works for me.
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
You learn an enormous lot through failure.
Cate Blanchett
People talk about the golden age of Hollywood because of how women were lit then. You could be Joan Crawford and Bette Davis and work well into your 50s, because you were lit and made into a goddess. Now, with everything being sort of gritty, women have this sense of their use-by date.
Cate Blanchett
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
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
I think the downside of the Internet is that speaking-or writing-has become the point in and of itself.
Cate Blanchett
Look, I live in the modern world as much as anyone else.
Cate Blanchett
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
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.
Cate Blanchett
After a run of several night events, you begin to appreciate the solitude and the quiet backstage.
Cate Blanchett
Perhaps being a parent has changed career more in that you ask yourself how long you'll be away from home. My eldest child is approaching school age so that becomes more important. They're less portable.
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
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
I think Pilates is great, especially when you can do it with a trainer who keeps you on track.
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
When you're a performer, of course you want an audience, but it's very, very different from courting fame.
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
The lack of racial diversity and gender diversity and the lack of female directors - those are not fashionable issues. And they're not issues that reside solely within the film industry.
