Cate Blanchett Soaks Up Her Sons

Yayyyyyyyyy!!! What a superlative couple at the head of *this* family. (And thanks for the breather, however brief, from the Trio in Rio ~ )

Aw, these are great pics! I just love Cate Blanchett, she always seems smart and down-to-earth.

I don't agree with you. She said that but I don't consider that being vain. Parents always think their kids are the cutest and that doesn't make them vain or arrogant. It's a natural thing.

Her comment about the responsibility to make more nice/cute ones? Gee whiz, guys, it's called hyperbole. CB is well known to the press as a force-fields-up interviewee. Her quote here is a blithe sort of exaggeration, something she often does as a deflecting tactic. All in one, she's: accepting a compliment; answering a question, but only to a point; setting the boundaries of her privacy while being a cooperative and pleasant interview; and managing to be light and yet a little bit provocative at the same time. Other celebrities should take heed -- this is how it's done!

She was obviously just being cheeky. She's an articulate, intelligent woman who's known to be witty in interviews. Why would she say something like that in a serious context? I thought it was a very sweet tongue-in-cheek thing to say. Jeez why does everything have to be taken so seriously?
