Supernova of talent and fierce fashionista Cate Blanchett rules the November Icon Issue of British Harper’s Bazaar. Can a magazine cover get any better than this? and the answer is most certainly no!

Cate on fashion:

“There are people out there who sculpt things on the body. I mean, you spend half an hour with Karl Lagerfeld and he’s so keyed into your current movements, and he’s always expanding himself. He gives you 20 books to read, and you’re enriched. At that kind of level, there’s a really interesting cross-fertilization (of culture) that goes on.”

Cate on being interested in the process:

“In the film industry, there’s this real sense that it’s not just what you’re doing at the time, but it’s where it’s going to lead you. That’s antithetical to the way I think. I’ve always been much more interested in the process, rather than the outcome. It’s taken me a long time to kind of remember that these things come out and they (generate enormous) exposure.

Cate on acting:

“It’s a fascinating thing to do with one’s life. It’s sort of like not having to make a choice about how one spends one’s life. You get to have so many different sets of experiences. The journey is immensely broad.”
