More quotes by Cate Blanchett
Yaron has elevated the way Australia perceives circus, both nationally and internationally ... I mean remarkable.
Cate Blanchett
You can't really watch a theater performance by yourself. You can watch a movie by yourself, though.
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 love those moments on stage, on screen and in life when you dispense with language, when you sort of transcend it in a way, and certainly the experience of falling in love, I think, defies words, which is why poets, painters, musicians, actors have tried to describe that feeling, writers have just tried to put words to that.
Cate Blanchett
Mind the gap - it's the distance between life as you dream it and life as it is.
Cate Blanchett
I was but three when he passed by, but I shall be grateful until the day I die.
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
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
Culture civilizes us, and that's why every single despotic regime has tried to smash [the arts].
Cate Blanchett
I'm so misunderstood!
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 could do a thousand films that are easy for me to do-that's if I don't fall in the next year, because everyone's about to fall. What's so funny is you look at all us young guys and we're already thinking, Well, I'm going to branch out into directing, and it's all going to be this and that.
Cate Blanchett
There are certain things in ancient practices that are not worth adhering to.
Cate Blanchett
His [Gough Whitlam's] effect on the geo-cultural-political map of Australia is so vast that wherever you stick the pin in you get a wealth of Gough's legacy.
Cate Blanchett
If you think about Audrey Hepburn, I think she became more beautiful when she stopped being an actress and started working with humanitarian campaigns. The more engaged you can become the more you can shed your self-consciousness.
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 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
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.
Cate Blanchett
As an actor I suppose you're constantly observing. I don't sit in restaurants making notes, I don't live my life in order to then feed it into my work.
Cate Blanchett
I believe that a creative career is only as good as the risks that you take with it.
Cate Blanchett
