Cate Blanchett

In my career, I thought I've never wanted to get anywhere in particular. I just wanted to work with interesting people on interesting projects.

An actress once advised me, 'Make sure you do your own laundry - it will keep you honest.'

Before having children, I think I probably approached work very differently, and you become much more economical and pragmatic about your relationship to it.

Realistically speaking, I don't know how many more years I will want to be acting or will be invited to be.

The course of business shapes public opinion.

I'm a huge Dallas Mavs fan. What I love about Dirk Nowitzki is he has just as much talent as everyone else, if not more, and he never toots his own horn. He's this silent warrior.
