I'm always without sleep. I've got two kids. I understand sleep deprivation on a profound level.
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
Fashion is one thing, you kind of can change your silhouette and try this and try that. But I think that with skin care, you know anything that you put into your skin goes into your body, so you want to know it's actually good for you. So I think I don't believe in fashion when it comes to skin care if that makes sense.
Cate Blanchett
That's why so many people want to play Hamlet: because it's a completely demarked role, and the actor playing it has to be prepared, through the language, to allow the audience to see into who he is.
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
My kids don't watch any TV, but they watch videos and films. I'm sure they watch it at friends' houses.
Cate Blanchett
Yaron has elevated the way Australia perceives circus, both nationally and internationally ... I mean remarkable.
Cate Blanchett
There are certain things in ancient practices that are not worth adhering to.
Cate Blanchett
You can't really watch a theater performance by yourself. You can watch a movie by yourself, though.
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'm of the opinion that it's okay to be silent, to not speak if you don't have anything to say.
Cate Blanchett
I was but three when he passed by, but I shall be grateful until the day I die.
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
Working with Martin Scorsese was an absolute minute-by-minute education without him ever being grandiose about it.
Cate Blanchett
Inquiry and curiosity is really important in any profession, but definitely in what I do. And in parallel you also need to be confident enough to try things. So it's a tricky thing sometimes to balance those two states.
Cate Blanchett
Culture civilizes us, and that's why every single despotic regime has tried to smash [the arts].
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
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
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
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
