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?'

Australians and the British are very similar: If you try and stand out in any way, and you try to reach for success, someone is gonna be there to cut you down.

Being famous gets me good concert tickets, good tables in restaurants, good seats at sporting events and that's really about it.

An actor is at most a poet and at least an entertainer.
