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.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

You don't work on something for six years and be blind to the myriad of other approaches.

I don't go down the road of condemning.
