Zitat des Tages von Cate Blanchett:
I always dressed as a man when I was at school. I loved wearing a tie and a shirt, and I was always wearing suits. Annie Lennox was my hero. I was always playing men in high school.
I've been pretty lucky in the leading men department.
I think the atmosphere on set really comes from the material, but also the director.
Marriage is a risk; I think it's a great and glorious risk, as long as you embark on the adventure in the same spirit.
When you go to a concert, part of being there is that you're all hearing the same thing. It's about being in a crowd. If you go to a gig and there are two people there, then it's not the same thing.
I don't consciously think of how parenthood has changed me but I'm sure it must have.
Look, I live in the modern world as much as anyone else.
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.
No one wants to see me struggling to get a horse under control because I can't ride it. And no one wants to see me not knowing how to deal with the psychological makeup of the character.
I never feel particularly comfortable holding a gun, but when you're playing somebody who lived in the frontier southwest, guns are a part of their life. Anyone who lives on land has a gun.
I feel like I've been marinated in Australian theatre.
It was only when I realized how actors have the power to move people that I decided to pursue acting as a career.
Particularly at the moment, it's an incredibly optimistic thing to bring children into the world.
I admire the work of brilliant actresses such as Judi Dench, Maggie Smith and Helen Mirren, who have had such varied careers. They have never stopped working, and they are as great today as they ever were.
You can't be trying to make a film that pleases all people, you know, so it's not a concern of mine.
It's not the normal way to look at things but I experienced death at a really young age and because of that it's been part of my mental landscape that death is really very possible.
If you know you are going to fail, then fail gloriously.
When I see daughters with their fathers I wonder what that would be like, although not in a way that immobilises me.
When you're stretching yourself, as a role like 'Blue Jasmine' did for me, you risk falling flat on your face.
Men are boys for such a long time and really don't start getting the great roles until they're in their mid-thirties. But then they've got a long time to do them, whereas for women, it's all about playing younger and younger and younger.
My everyday beauty routine is always rushed and pretty simple.
Like any mum, I fear some mysterious illness befalling my children.
I think if you're too embroiled in the need to relate too closely to the character, then you start to judge the character for the audience rather than to present it to the audience for their enjoyment and them to mull over the questions that the characters present.
All cities do face similar, significant trends in the future... most importantly global warming and climate change.
I tend to use really basic creams, and I like to put an oil on, like an emu oil from Australia. It's from the emu, and it's really nourishing. I prefer an oil to a cream.
Conservatism is affecting the way women perceive who they are in the world.
I think that's what I love about my life. There's no maniacal master plan. It's just unfolding before me.
Actresses can get outrageously precious about the way they look. That's not what life's about. If you starve yourself to the point where your brain cells shrivel, you will never do good work. And if you're overly conscious of your arms flapping in the wind, how can you look the other actor in the eye to respond to them?
My husband keeps me really honest.
You can't really achieve anything in three years.
I'm not well read.
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 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.
When you are proud of something you have done, and you have made a film you feel has merit, and it's found an audience and is critically well received, that's a pretty pleasurable place to be. I mean, you don't want it gathering dust at the bottom of someone's DVD collection.
If I had my way, if I was lucky enough, if I could be on the brink my entire life - that great sense of expectation and excitement without the disappointment - that would be the perfect state.
I care about climate change because of our children. I want to safeguard their future.
