More quotes by 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
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
I think you need to have a healthy sense of doubt because I think doubt leads to inquiry.
Cate Blanchett
My everyday beauty routine is always rushed and pretty simple.
Cate Blanchett
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
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
The one thing that all great cities have in common is that they are all different
Cate Blanchett
I don't think about being beautiful or not being beautiful. ... It's more about feeling confident inside your own skin really and thinking about yourself as little as possible.
Cate Blanchett
My husband keeps me really honest.
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.
Cate Blanchett
When I see daughters with their fathers I wonder what that would be like, although not in a way that immobilises me.
Cate Blanchett
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.
Cate Blanchett
Things present themselves to you, and it's how you choose to deal with them that reveals who you are. We all say a lot of things, don't we, about who we are and how we think. But in the end it's your actions, how you respond to circumstance that reveals your character.
Cate Blanchett
Mind the gap - it's the distance between life as you dream it and life as it is.
Cate Blanchett
I don't consciously think of how parenthood has changed me but I'm sure it must have.
Cate Blanchett
His [Gough Whitlam's] effect on the geo-cultural-political map of Australia is so vast that wherever you stick the pin in you get a wealth of Gough's legacy.
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
I couldn't possibly have played someone with feelings towards a woman unless I had those feelings myself.
Cate Blanchett
I much prefer a natural approach to beauty. You know, Coco Chanel always said to take one thing off before you leave the house, and I think that also applies to makeup.
Cate Blanchett
You learn an enormous lot through failure.
