Becoming artistic directors is an enormous responsibility and not one that we take lightly.
Cate Blanchett
Image
It's not the normal way to look at things but I experienced death at a really young age and because of that it's been part of my mental landscape that death is really very possible.

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
Image
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.

Don't you find that work, if you love it, is actually really invigorating?
Cate Blanchett
Image
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.

After a run of several night events, you begin to appreciate the solitude and the quiet backstage.

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

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.

I think often women can feel isolated and feel like they get into a rut and don't quite know how to get out of it.

I think Pilates is great, especially when you can do it with a trainer who keeps you on track.

Image
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.

Image
The more you do it, the more you learn to concentrate, as a child does, incredibly intensively and then you sort of have to relax. I remember the first film I did, the lead actor would in between scenes be reading a newspaper or sleeping and I'd think, 'How can you do that?'

When you're a performer, of course you want an audience, but it's very, very different from courting fame.
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.

I'm of the opinion that it's okay to be silent, to not speak if you don't have anything to say.

There's not a long, entrenched tradition of theatergoing in Australia.

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].

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.

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.
