Excerpt:
Blanchett spoke to the crowd after accepting the award from her Disclaimer director Alfonso Cuarón: “As an Australian working abroad, I’ve had the great privilege of transcending many bodies. And my work has taken me to central Asia, to Europe, the Americas, to China, it has taken me all over the world and here now in Basque country, at this extraordinarily vibrant festival… I’m so very honored to receive this award. Thank you San Sebastian. Thank you.”
She went on, pointing out what she thinks is a “worry” at the moment: “It’s bewildering to me that there seems to be a lot of certainty, a lot of righteousness and a lack of doubt in the world, when, in fact, the world is a deeply uncertain place and to creative life, it’s fuelled with uncertainty and doubt. It’s the DNA of how you begin any project. You have to humble yourself… I worry that we’re try finding answers too quickly, and it’s this uncertainty, I think, that drives me on.”
