Actors Quote by Cate Blanchett
“With a role like Hedda Gabler, which is incredibly complicated, you often feel that you haven't even scratched the surface the first time around, so you relish the opportunity to do it again, particularly with an ensemble of actors and the company we assembled. But when you do that in films you somehow have to make some attempt to uncross people's arms and you have to justify why you're doing it.”

![“It seemed to work on camera. And there's very few films - because you make a lot of films and you meet people and you work very intensely and intimately and then you're gone - but there's a few where you actually make friends, and this [The Fall] was one.” quote by Cillian Murphy](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/759/cillian-murphy-4370_cameras_it-seemed-to-work-on-camera-and-there-s_120288.jpg)
