“If you age with somebody, you go through so many roles - you're lovers...” — Cate Blanchett Quote

“If you age with somebody, you go through so many roles - you're lovers, friends, enemies, colleagues, strangers; you're brother and sister. That's what intimacy is, if you're with your soulmate.”

“A lot of people are frightened by old age - by being around people who are, basically, on their way out - but I'm fascinated by it. It's an amazing thing to be around someone who has had a life well lived.”

“I think that's what I love about my life. There's no maniacal master plan. It's just unfolding before me.”

“I think when the full horror of being fifty hits you, you should stay home and have a good cry.”

“When I turned 60, it didn't bother me at all.”

“My first recognition of age setting in was exactly on my 36th birthday. I have no idea why, on this day of all days, I looked in the mirror and realized my face no longer looked young.”
