He didn't, in fact; he asked me what I wanted for dinner or something like that. But I'd never had that thought before. I thought, This is extraordinary! I've never felt this before. What an adventure! — Cate Blanchett, on her relationship with UptonPeople: Cate Blanchett's Real-Life Love Story (December 29, 2008)
