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.

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
Working with Martin Scorsese was an absolute minute-by-minute education without him ever being grandiose about it.
Cate Blanchett
Please, I need you to save my ass.
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
I feel like I've been marinated in Australian theatre.
Cate Blanchett
I think that's what I love about my life. There's no maniacal master plan. It's just unfolding before me.
Cate Blanchett
Maybe this is my morality coming in again but it was important to me that the actor [ in Notes On A Scandal] was above the age of consent. Although really, what's the difference between 15 and 16? It's the law, yeah, but he's very mature.
Cate Blanchett
You can't really watch a theater performance by yourself. You can watch a movie by yourself, though.
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
Mind the gap - it's the distance between life as you dream it and life as it is.
Cate Blanchett
I love theatre - it's where I started - and I've directed a play myself. I'm not sure if I want to direct a film, but certainly, as an actress, I'm always thinking, 'Surely this must be my last film.'
Cate Blanchett
I don't consciously think of how parenthood has changed me but I'm sure it must have.
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'm not good at acting, I'm not good at anything else.
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 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
After a run of several night events, you begin to appreciate the solitude and the quiet backstage.
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
Don't you find that work, if you love it, is actually really invigorating?
Cate Blanchett
Becoming artistic directors is an enormous responsibility and not one that we take lightly.
