Conventional wisdom holds that Cate Blanchett is one of the world’s greatest living performers, but one person who disagrees with that is Cate Blanchett, who thinks she’s pretty terrible most of the time (her words, not ours). Marc and Cate try to get to the bottom of why she’s so hard on herself despite her many career accomplishments. They discuss The Lord of the Rings, playing Bob Dylan, why her hair fell out when she played Blanche DuBois, why Al Pacino is her hero, and why she took on the story of Phyllis Schlafly in Mrs. America.

I love Cate Blanchett’s acting but I hate false modesty. The woman has won every award there is in her field. She deserves the awards. And she knows it.

She’s a lot more likable in this interview than previous things I’ve seen and read of her being interviewed. I avoided her press for years after reading an interview in which sounded like an absolute sociopath in her self-description of her reaction to her father’s death.
