Cate Blanchett Quotes

I applaud Women in Film - not only for celebrating the successes of women, but for providing a safety network to mentor women and to discuss the particular issues that arise in a very male-dominated industry.
I believe that a creative career is only as good as the risks that you take with it.
I can be a real pessimist. You know that when you win an Oscar, and you walk offstage, and your first thought is: 'Oh God, I've peaked.'
I care about climate change because of our children. I want to safeguard their future.
I cook a mean Sunday lunch. My idea of Heaven is a lunch outside on a beautifully sunny Sunday afternoon. It's the time to gather everyone together.
I discovered early on that some performers live their life in order to act, so all their relationships are simply an experience that they can feed back into their work. Which I find vampiric.
I don't consciously think of how parenthood has changed me but I'm sure it must have.
I don't feel like, 'Now I'm a great actress.'
I don't know, maybe my sons will be gay.
I don't like a heavy mask of make-up day or night - mascara and a bit of bronzer.
I don't like to reduce a role to fit me. The challenge to me is to expand to it. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. But that's the challenge of it.
I don't mind not looking conventionally - you know, attractive if that's what the part requires.
I don't think it's more difficult for actors to have a good marriage than anyone. I think, in the end, a really important component of any relationship is honesty, and it also comes down to luck.
I don't understand a way to work other than bold-facedly running towards failure.
I feel very comfortable - literally and metaphorically - in my skin.
I find that the skills and the muscularity required to be on stage, you need to keep those up - I do, personally, in order to maintain your ability to perform on screen. You don't want to always be working in the one medium.
I grew up listening to music and going to the theatre.
I guess I prefer to be quite private. It's a myth that actors are exhibitionists.
I have a very healthy relationship to my work, and I find that if a scene is working, no matter how intense it is, you have the catharsis on screen, and you can let it go. I think it's, if at the end of the day you feel like you haven't cracked it, that's when you go home and it's more difficult to switch off.
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.
