Quote

If you think about Audrey Hepburn, I think she became more beautiful when she stopped being an actress and started working with humanitarian campaigns. The more engaged you can become the more you can shed your self-consciousness.

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.

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

Image
Absolutely, I think that is where a scent is so powerful because it harnesses our memory and our memory is a very emotional place. I do like the smell of excitement.

Sometimes I think it's so good not to win those things. And, anyway, who wants to peak when they're 28?

I do tend to move on anyway. This is a part of my life, but it doesn't rule my life.

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].

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.

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?

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?'
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.

Planning cities is a necessary but risky business.

Some ideas, like what you're going to do with your life, take time to form.

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.

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

You can't be trying to make a film that pleases all people, you know, so it's not a concern of mine.

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

You can't really watch a theater performance by yourself. You can watch a movie by yourself, though.

I believe that a creative career is only as good as the risks that you take with it.

Working with Martin Scorsese was an absolute minute-by-minute education without him ever being grandiose about it.
