I think referendums are fantastic as long as the question is phrased in a way which is not meant to deliberately confuse or confound people.

More quotes by Cate Blanchett
Some ideas, like what you're going to do with your life, take time to form.
Cate Blanchett
Personally, I prefer to play against the look: If a character appears particularly unhinged, with makeup running down her face, I like to play her as if she has it together. I think that juxtaposition makes it so much more interesting.
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
I have the embarrassing thing where often if you're watching a film, you kind of go through the emotions and the thought stages that your character went through, but you sort of do it with Tourette's. So I end up often crying when I'm crying, and looking angry when I'm looking angry, so it's pretty ugly.
Cate Blanchett
There are certain things in ancient practices that are not worth adhering to.
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
If you over plan New Year's Eve it's going to be a disaster so you have to be alive to changes.
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 couldn't possibly have played someone with feelings towards a woman unless I had those feelings myself.
Cate Blanchett
Everyone gets obsessed with anti-aging but I'd rather look as good as I can at the age I am.
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'm partial to a nice cup of vodka. I normally just drink it really simple with a little bit of lemon.
Cate Blanchett
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.
Cate Blanchett
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
When you're directing something, you absolutely have to be involved in all layers of the process.
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
Planning cities is a necessary but risky business.
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
The thing I love about live performance the most, is that the doors are closed, the lights are turned down, and the audience has to be reverential to what's happening onstage.
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.
