Cate Blanchett Work Quotations

I admire the work of brilliant actresses such as Judi Dench, Maggie Smith and Helen Mirren, who have had such varied careers. They have never stopped working, and they are as great today as they ever were.

I think that what appeals to me in my work is having the opportunity to inhabit different genres and so to reach different audiences.

I think the only thing I knew for sure is that I wanted to, whatever I did, I wanted to travel with my work, an adventurous spirit.

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.

When I emerged from drama school, I had no expectation that I would ever work in film.

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.

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.'

Before having children, I think I probably approached work very differently, and you become much more economical and pragmatic about your relationship to it.
