“Citazioni in ordine temporale.”
“If I had my way, if I was lucky enough, if I could be on the brink my entire life — that great sense of expectation and excitement without the disappointment — that would be the perfect state.”
“I think marriage is all about timing. Getting married is insanity; I mean, it's a risk – who knows if you're going to be together forever? But you both say, 'We're going to take this chance, in the same spirit.”
“[A proposito di Brad Pitt] Lavorare al suo fianco è un immenso piacere, ma andare in giro con lui può essere un vero incubo: i fan lo amano più di una rockstar. (dall'intervista di Alessandra De Luca, Ciak, febbraio 2009)”
In recognition of the outstanding contribution made to Australian entertainment and culture
Text from Wikipedia, available under CC BY-SA 4.0.
“Acho que casamento é tudo questão de tempo. Casamento é loucura, eu quero dizer, é um risco - quem sabe se você está indo para ficar juntos para sempre? Mas você quer dizer: Nós vamos aproveitar esta oportunidade, no mesmo espírito.”
“I think what's happening in the world at the moment, which is quite different to the movement in the 1970s, is that women are being heard and believed. Women are finally talking to one another and realising that the challenges they've had to face on a daily basis are not exclusive to their own experience, in fact, they're very common and there's no shame in it.”
“Thank you of course to Miss Hepburn. The longevity of her career I think is inspiring to everyone. But most importantly and on behalf of everyone I know in The Aviator, thank you to Martin Scorsese. I hope my son will marry your daughter.”
“Nadie es nunca quien dice ser. Y supongo que lo que más me interesa es la brecha entre quiénes aparentamos ser para los demás y quiénes somos realmente». [No one is ever who they purport to be. And I suppose I'm most interested in the gap between who we project socially and who we really are].”
“I think women carry a lot of daily shame, but the more you express, the less rage you hold onto, and the more you're able to move positively forward together. I feel very strongly that women are not going to move backwards from that position.”
“Soy una de esas extrañas bestias a las que les encanta el corsé». [I'm one of those strange beasts who really likes a corset].”
“A proposito della vecchiaia poi dobbiamo rassegnarci, non ho voglia di lottare troppo contro i segni lasciati dal tempo. D'altra parte amo i volti e i corpi che cambiano e che sanno raccontare la storia di una vita.”
“Saya pikir perempuan menanggung banyak rasa malu setiap hari, tetapi semakin sering kita mengungkapkannya, semakin sedikit amarah yang kita pendam, dan semakin kita mampu bergerak maju secara positif bersama. Saya sangat yakin bahwa perempuan tidak akan mundur dari posisi itu.”
“As random and as subjective as this award is, it means a great deal in a year of extraordinary, yet again, extraordinary performances by women ... And perhaps those of us in the industry who are still foolishly clinging to the idea that female films with women at the center are niche experiences. They are not. Audiences want to see them, and in fact, they earn money. The world is round, people.”
“As one gets older you feel less in control. As women we often feel like do we need to be in control of everything. Often need to be in control of things individually. What has really rung home for me tonight is the only way forward is to try and let go of control.”
“In questo settore molti credono scioccamente che i film con le donne al centro siano del film di nicchia. Non lo sono, gli spettatori vanno a vederli e fanno guadagnare. Il mondo è rotondo, gente.”
“Seiring bertambahnya usia, kita merasa kurang memegang kendali. Sebagai perempuan, kita sering merasa perlu mengendalikan segalanya. Seringkali kita perlu mengendalikan segala sesuatunya secara individual. Yang benar-benar menyentuh hati saya malam ini adalah satu-satunya jalan ke depan adalah mencoba melepaskan kendali.”
“Voir le recueil de citations : Le Seigneur des anneaux : La Communauté de l'anneau”
“Backstage press room, after winning the Independent Spirit Award for her performance in I'm Not There, in response to the question: "As an actress, do you prefer Independents over the mainstream?”
“In passato, di fronte a una grande sceneggiatura, a un grande regista, a un grande cast sapevi che quella storia avrebbe trovato il suo pubblico. Magari piccolo, ma l'avrebbe raggiunto. Ora non più. È fondamentale sapere come sarà commercializzata quella storia, distribuita, pubblicizzata, perché sono tutti fattori che influenzano l'esperienza del pubblico.”
“[«È giusto portare sul tappeto rosso messaggi importanti di impegno sociale e politico?»] Sì, ma dipende dal come e dal quando. Pensare un contesto glamour come una tribuna politica può essere un po' fuorviante.”
“What interested me was how much of a departure this was in that you have three interesting, across the generations, female characters, literally riding alongside the male characters. Also the emotional and psychological depth of the characters was, for me, a lot richer than I've seen in a western. But never once did it sacrifice the thrill of the chase. So it was a journey into the unknown for me.”
“Voir le recueil de citations : Le Seigneur des anneaux : Les Deux Tours”
“[«Ha quattro figli: che cosa la preoccupa di più?»] Ho notato che per la loro generazione è molto difficile sia fare progetti a lungo termine sia partire per un'avventura senza una meta precisa. A furia di insistere sui pericoli, questo è il risultato. Io cerco di incoraggiare i miei figli a guardare lontano, di instillare loro il senso dell’avventura.”
“Cate Blanchett, The Missing interview. BBC.”
“[«La bellezza salverà questo mondo?»] Forse Dostoevskij si riferiva a una donna? Al momento c'è molta bruttezza in giro. Meglio concentrarci sulla natura, sul divino che è in noi: non in senso religioso, sottoscrivo la visione orientale secondo la quale il bello scaturisce da dentro.”
“I can be a real pessimist. You know that when you win an Oscar and you walk offstage and your first thought is: "Oh God, I've peaked.”
“Voir le recueil de citations : Le Seigneur des anneaux : Le Retour du roi”
