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.

A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs.

There seemed to be endless obstacles... it seemed that the root cause of them all was fear.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
