Quotes:

"You've just got to present it to them and they take what they take. It's important to me that it doesn't feel like a family business to them. So that they have a life that's not continually centered around what we do." - Cate on teaching her boys about theater.

“It toughens you up and makes you more pragmatic, yet at the same time it turns you into a bowl of mush. You see a child in distress or a puppy waiting to cross the street and you just want to weep. Maybe that mix is good for an actor. I guess the great thing is that it increases your ability to switch on and off. The work is no longer the only thing in your life. Other things count – and count more.” - Cate on motherhood.

“Anyone with children will tell you the same thing. Starting out as single women, our first questions about any job are, ‘What kind of role is it?’ and ‘Who will I be working with?’. But as soon as we have kids, we find ourselves asking, ‘How long’s the shoot?’ and ‘Can it be done in the school holidays?’ Suddenly, your attitude becomes very pragmatic. It has to, because shifting your household to another hemisphere is a major upheaval and there has to be a pretty compelling reason for you to do it.” - Cate on planning her work around her family.

It looked like a blast of a playdate at New York's West Side Park today as Hugh Jackman took his son Oscar, 9, and Cate Blanchett's sons Dashiell, 8, Roman, 5, and Iggy, 1 1/2 , for some fun in the winter weather. Not one to sit on the sidelines, the Wolverine star seemed to enjoy their snowball fight just as much as the boys did!

Last year Hugh praised his pal, saying, “Cate Blanchett is superwoman. She is amazing on every level. I think she is flawless as a person.”

Both Aussie natives are currently in the Big Apple with their families while they perform on Broadway.

Aussie actress Cate Blanchett had the help of her two oldest boys Dashiell, 8, and Roman, 5, as she tried to hail a cab in New York today (December 11).

The Oscar-winning mom-of-three - her youngest son Ignatius 'Iggy' is 1 1/2 - is earning rave reviews for her turn as Blanche Dubois in the latest Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams' classic A Streetcar Named Desire.

So sweet! Cate Blanchett was spotted strolling with a friend and her three young boys - Dashiell, 7 1/2, Roman, 5 1/2, and Iggy, 1 1/2 - in New York City on Wednesday (December 2). When Iggy started to become a bit restless, the gorgeous 40-year-old Babel star checked in with her sweet boy and made him giggle.

We've seen a lot of the Blanchett-Uptons in the Big Apple these days. The Academy Award-winning actress is currently wowing audiences at BAM (the Brooklyn Academy of Music) as Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire.
