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.'

I said to Martin Scorsese, 'When are you going to make another film with a woman at the center?'

I'm not afraid of wanting money at all. Money will give me more power to do things that are truer to my spirit than what I'm already doing.

They said I couldn't play anything but an English boy. I knew I could. So I went to New York.

I like to listed to the adventurous guys - the Coltranes, Miles Davis, the guys who just let it loose.
