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?'

Why do we cling to bigotry? Because bigotry, plainly, is convenient. It is a near-effortless way to both elevate one's stature and make a pity grab in this culture of victims that we have become.

I've had a fantastic time at 'Coronation Street,' and I'm chuffed at the reaction to Becky. It's been this lovely redemption story, and I think that's what the viewers have enjoyed about it.
