I think it's time to make it official. Cate Blanchett is a GODDESS! Oh, and did you know the woman is 38 and has two sons under the age of 6? Amazing! She was recently interviewed for W Magazine's October issue. Here are a few excerpts:
She can't turn down a challenge, which is why she had no problem accepting to play the role of Bob Dylan in his biopic:

"I used to constantly play that Truth, Dare, Kiss or Promise game as a child. I guess I've never outgrown it. If somebody challenges me to do something, I say okay. I say okay very quickly."

On the storyline of the Dylan biopic:

"The script was verging on impenetrable," she says. "It's like an algebraic equation. You think: This makes sense in the mind of the mathematician. I knew that if you assembled it, somehow Bob Dylan would emerge, but only Todd (the director) knew how."

On the director casting a woman to play the part:

"It's another crazy idea," she says. "I just strapped those breasts down and went for it."

On making a sequel to the movie Elizabeth which was nominated for 7 Oscars:

"When Shekhar mentioned it to me before, I always said no. Why would I want to do that? What else is there to say?" she says. This script, however, which finds the Queen at mid-reign, single and childless, struck a chord. "I started thinking about what supposed "middle age' means and the really modern concern that women have about infertility and the loss of one's attractiveness."
Getting back into the Queen's costume for Elizabeth, "was quite surreal and discombobulating at times," says Blanchett. "It was that strange thing of, is there an echo in the room?"

On more children:

"We're not going to wait forever," Blanchett says, downing a rather large vitamin pill before tucking in to a plate of crispy eggplant. "God, I'd love it to be now. I'd love it to be next week."
