Cate Blanchett reveals mantra to successful marriage
Award-winning actress Cate Blanchett shared that "profound trust" is the mantra to a successful marriage
- LOS ANGELES — Award-winning actress Cate Blanchett shared that "profound
trust" is the mantra to a successful marriage but added that “no one truly
knows” their partners.
-
- She told The Observer: "Yes, it’s all about the
things that are not said, which is really interesting to play. I think it’s a
fascinating way to look at a marriage now because it’s meant to be all about
honesty, having everything out there. But what does that mean for desire and
what does it actually mean for trust, if there are no secrets that you’re
prepared to keep?
-
- "Every marriage is different, but the ones that last
are based on a profound trust and, I think, not having a stranglehold over your
partner. Or an expectation, really, that you can ever truly know one
another."
-
- Meanwhile, the 'Tar' actress, who has Dashiell, Roman,
and Ignatius and 10-year-old Edith with her husband, said that just as the
#MeToo movement came about, things were suddenly being "discredited and
undermined" and that nearly a decade on from when it took place, she
claimed that women are "nowhere nearly equal pay" despite the mass campaign.
-
- She said: "Well, the conversation had just begun and
suddenly everything was being discredited and undermined, so we’re still having
to fight for those same basic conversations."
-
- Talking about if she feels the industry has gone
"backward" since then, she added: "Definitely. We’re nowhere
near equal pay!”
-
- “Talking about it noisily doesn’t mean action has
happened. I mean, there’s a greater concentration of wealth than perhaps there
ever has been in human history. And we can see where that’s got us.”
