The Australian performer's remark reflects a career built on ambitious choices and creative risk-taking rather than safe roles, the outlet reports. Blanchett, who won Oscars for 'The Aviator' and 'Blue Jasmine' and was nominated for 'Elizabeth', has moved between mainstream films like 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'Thor: Ragnarok' to challenging projects like 'Carol' and 'Tár'.
