“She’s an actress that is not only gifted and talented. Cate Blanchett is above all a brave actress- One has to be brave, for example, to play in A Streetcar Named Desire in Broadway. I really admire her enormously, and I’d really love to resemble her”. — Meryl Streep

“I’ve heard the Meryl Streep comparison about Cate Blanchett, and I believe it to be absolutely correct and an extremely adequate thing to say about Cate.” — Kate Winslet

“Charlize Theron and Cate Blanchett are very good actresses.” — Jack Nicholson

“Cate is part of the heritage of great actresses. She’s a creative person and someone who is not interested in peddling the values of her persona. She brings her own oomph to a part.” — Geoffrey Rush

“I love Cate Blanchett! She is one of my favorite actresses.” — Amy Adams

“She’s very subtle, yet boiling away inside. And I admire the fact that she’s very private. You need to have that mystery.” — Eva Green, mentioning that Cate is her idol

“Cate Blanchett is my favourite actress!” — Diane Kruger

“The first time I saw Cate was in Elizabeth (1998), and I was just amazed by her intelligence and strength.” — Nicole Kidman

I took Anthony Perkins into my dressing room - he was supposed to be my young lover - and I said, “For heavens sake kiss me!” Anthony did a double-take, then he laughed and said, “Why? What for?” I said, “Because we’ve got to do it later in the film, and I don’t know you, I’m hardly acquainted with you, and I’m shy and I blush. Much better we do our first rehearsal in my dressing room, so that I shan’t start dreading the moment when we have to do it in front of a hundred technicians.” He grinned, and understood, and said, “Okay,” then he kissed me. ― Ingrid Bergman: My Story
