* Cate's answers in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTQkZj5wcCQ this game of '5 Second Rule']] with Creator/EllenDegeneres are hilarious. '''"TOOTHPASTE, TAMPONS AND CONDOMS!"'''
* This from her conference after winning her second Oscar:
-->'''Interviewer:''' I want to ask you about the fact that you are the first Australian actor or actress to ever win two Oscars--
-->'''Cate:''' And don't you [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] forget it.
* Her sense of humour, in general, is very dry, VERY Australian and slightly off the wall, providing endless fun in interviews and other press situations. It's a bit of a long-running joke between her fans on Website/{{Tumblr}} where someone will post a gifset of her saying or doing something slightly outrageous and caption it 'Two time Oscar winner, Cate Blanchett'. A Cate fan on Website/{{YouTube}} has even gone to the trouble of compiling together some of her most memorable moments: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uUztonVAL0 Part 1]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OI45u0jupHg Part 2]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcuvzS3a5ZA Part 3]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S62G2cuus9o Part 4]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcuE4YiYKzs Part 5]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPJNQa97Q6E Part 6]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUiAWP_LjhA Part 7]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgvlfAaJnAk Part 8]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkeldsiwJIQ Part 9]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q4eX3VN_is Part 10]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DM_APzwHjs Part 11]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiDe656MZ54 Part 12]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujqhBAmY37k Part 13]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oznNjgF1L0s Part 14]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ly0GDcfEOoQ Part 15]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUQ1dJA7ASI Part 16]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFjRUGlDmPY Part 17]]
* 2015 [[Creator/BritishFilmInstitute BFI]] film festival, promoting ''Film/{{Carol}}'':
-->'''Creator/{{Rooney|Mara}}:''' I've looked up to [Cate] since I was 13 and I saw ''Elizabeth''--
-->'''Cate:''' [[IntergenerationalFriendship Don't rub it in]].[[note]]Cate was roughly 29 when she starred in the movie.[[/note]] There ''is'' an [[MayDecemberRomance age difference in the film]] but ... y'know, we'll let the audience discover that.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8aKjegYM6Q Funniest. LipFlip. Ever.]]
* During a Jimmy Kimmel interview for ''Film/TheMonumentsMen'':
-->'''Creator/{{George|Clooney}}:''' I flew to Australia for one night...
-->'''Cate:''' It was great, George.
* She did a hilarious interview with Australia's ''The Project'' promoting ''[[Film/Cinderella2015 Cinderella]]'' where both she and the interviewer decided to just mess about and have a completely non-serious back and forth about such relevant topics as what alcohol to give Cate to get her into bed (vodka) and how she got the cat in the movie to act on screen. Of course, the mainstream media got hold of it and showed an edited down version to try and make it seem like Cate was being serious and acting like a diva. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFk5IUceRss full interview]] proves that it's actually the opposite.
-->''"That's your question? That's your fucking question?"''
* [[https://78.media.tumblr.com/f6a2fa328ba8ebd3f3478f8de89362dd/tumblr_ohf9wbs23m1qaje5vo1_540.png This]] supposed [[{{bathos}} semi-serious]] photo with Creator/AmyAdams.
* Why should people go to see ''Cinderella''? According to Cate...
-->''"[Creator/RichardMadden] [[MrFanservice looks very good]] in [[PaintedOnPants tights]] -- [[FemaleGaze something for the mums!]]"''
* It's pointed out several times in the ''Lord of the Rings'' special features that she was absolutely obsessed with her elf ears, having wanted a role with pointy ears since the start of her acting career. Eventually, Weta even let her keep them, complete with a specially made velvet-lined box.
* It's said that when she was approached at the Oscars afterparty where she was asked whether she wanted to be in ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon2'', she hunched over and pretended to be a dragon before agreeing.
* The [[{{Pun}} marvel]]lous ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rkWiLaiECo blooper reel]] is a veritable treasure trove of hilarious Cate moments including Cate falling over extras (and then swearing), Cate falling over the set (and then swearing), Cate dancing with director Creator/TaikaWaititi in a motion-capture suit, Cate accidentally slapping co-star Creator/ChrisHemsworth for real when shooting a fight scene, Cate later apologetically asking Chris if she "got his testicles" during another fight scene, plus lots more of Cate generally being a klutz and a goof. In a motion-capture suit. It is ''glorious''.
--> '''"FREESTYLE!"'''
** Constantly SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud, annoying Taika:
--->'''Cate:''' ''[to camera]'' I shouldn't be making noises with my mouth, should I?
--->'''Taika:''' ''[off-screen, most likely behind the camera]'' No, you shouldn't.
* Whenever Cate references facelifts by pulling her forehead and cheeks back.
