No, itโs very comforting actually, to know that youโre sitting in a long legacy of actresses whoโve played the role. Iโm absolutely all for absorbing all of those influences, so you understand the pedigree of the part as much as you understand the figure in historyโฆ because you are playing the part. You donโt say: โGosh, I want to play Peter Sellersโฆโ because you can sort of do that in your own bathroom.
Cate BlanchettMy dreams tend to be like dog dreams. I'm usually so tired that I hardly dream at all. In a way, I do think that the zone one performs in - without getting too ooga-booga about it - it's like that moment when you wake up in the morning and you're emerging from a dream state but you're not quite up. Where are you? Can you hear the birds? Or is that the traffic? It's that zone in which I perform. Itโs like one foot in reality and one foot in a dream state. I spend most of my life in that state!
