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.

More quotes by Cate Blanchett
I'm always without sleep. I've got two kids. I understand sleep deprivation on a profound level.
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
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
Wouldn't it be nice if the internet blew up?
Cate Blanchett
I don't think about being beautiful or not being beautiful. ... It's more about feeling confident inside your own skin really and thinking about yourself as little as possible.
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
Becoming artistic directors is an enormous responsibility and not one that we take lightly.
Cate Blanchett
One of my favorite moments is onstage, when you see a dancer leap, and you think they're flying, and then they fall. It's that moment of suspension that you look for, and sometimes you get it and sometimes you don't.
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
There's a lot of anti-Semitism, and it's not just against the Jewish.
Cate Blanchett
Look, it's one of the great mysteries of the world, I cannot answer that question. I think I'm vaguely blonde. To be perfectly frank, I don't know.
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
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
What you're trying to do as an actor is somehow trick yourself into believing that these words have never been said, and so you've got to discover them for the first time.
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
Well, I've never looked upon myself as being a beauty, per se.
Cate Blanchett
If you only exercise your soloist muscles, the other muscles quickly atrophy.
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
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.
