Cate Blanchett

I'm so misunderstood! ”

Marriage is a risk; I think it's a great and glorious risk, as long as you embark on the adventure in the same spirit. ”

I never want to work. Even when you're presented with these great opportunities, I think, 'I really love being in my pajamas with the kids.' ”

I have a very healthy relationship to my work, and I find that if a scene is working, no matter how intense it is, you have the catharsis on screen, and you can let it go. I think it's, if at the end of the day you feel like you haven't cracked it, that's when you go home and it's more difficult to switch off. ”

Don't you find that work, if you love it, is actually really invigorating? ”

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 love 'Annie Hall,' but then I adore 'Hannah and Her Sisters.' Dianne Wiest is amazing in 'Bullets Over Broadway,' but her in 'Hannah and Her Sisters,' I absolutely loved it. ”

Passion is a quality I admire in a woman. ”

I don't think it's more difficult for actors to have a good marriage than anyone. I think, in the end, a really important component of any relationship is honesty, and it also comes down to luck. ”

When you're stretching yourself, as a role like 'Blue Jasmine' did for me, you risk falling flat on your face. ”
