Cate Blanchett Explains How She Chooses Her Film Roles

Cate Blanchett appears on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar’s 10th art issue and shared about how she selects roles and challenges herself creatively.

“If I pick up a script, and I can imagine myself [acting] it, I should put it down and let someone else do it. Because I think the process of making it and, therefore, ultimately, the experience of watching it will be thin. It’s much more exciting to be outside of your comfort zone,” the 53-year-old two-time Oscar winner said.

Cate was asked about the difference between opinion and truth.

“There’s an exercise you do at drama school, where you write down everything a character says about themselves; and then you write down what every other character says about them,” she said. “Somewhere between those often contrapuntal, contradictory things lies some version of the truth. One of the phrases I just cannot say is ‘my truth’. I mean, the truth is the truth, isn’t it? I think language is so important. ‘My perspective’ is one thing, but “my truth”? I don’t know what that is!’”

Cate has been busy promoting the film Tár and was asked about conducting Mahler’s Fifth Symphony with a full orchestra while filming.

“What women wear on the podium, how they stand – before you lift a finger, it’s a political act, and you have to spend 70 per cent of your energy pushing that aside, simply so you can be a musician. The focus you need is twice what a male conductor needs, even now,” she said.
