Cate Blanchett Waits For Phone Calls From Woody Allen
LatestThere’s a fantastic interview with Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett over at the Guardian today. In it, she discusses everything from her fellow celebrities to climate change and even addresses the loss of her father.
On climate change, Blanchett is very direct:
We need to keep switching up the language around climate change.For so long we’ve talked about sacrifice and people get discredited for what they haven’t given up. [Celebrities] get criticised for taking flights, but the truth is someone like Leo [DiCaprio] takes fewer flights than he’s asked to. If we want it to stay on the radar, we need to focus on the fact there’s a lot of opportunity.
She says working with Woody Allen is sometimes a mystery, because he isn’t the kind of director easily approached with material. Blanchett, who is getting early Oscar buzz for Allen’s Blue Jasmine said the director is more likely to randomly call one day and say “I’ve got a script I want you to read.” Oh to be a little bird on the other end of that phone conversation.
