Knocked Up Celebs

Cate Blanchett is mom to three kids, Dashiell, 7, Roman, 5, and Ignatius, 1, and is starring on Broadway as Blanche Dubois in the play Streetcar Named Desire that is playing at the Kennedy Center’s Eisenhower Theater until next week. Cate opened up to the December 2009 issue of Vogue magazine talking about her kids, her career and theater. Here are the highlights:

On her family: “When the boys aren’t playing with friends, they can usually be found playing backstage. They’re always engaged in the family business, so to speak.”

On her career choices: “I’m not very cautious or careful. It’s always been more about having a variety of experiences than any planned trajectory… I think that in a way, projects choose you.”

On the importance of theater: “In the wake of everything that’s happened in the world in the last eighteen months, we’re thinking about what we’ve lost. So much of the play is about the death of poetry and idealism and hope—the fine, delicate things in our lives, the intangible, ephemeral things in our lives—which theater actually represents, doesn’t it? It’s ephemeral by its very nature. If you’re not there, you miss it. It’s gone.”
