Cate Blanchett's Cannes Statements and Style Steal the Show.

Cate Blanchett, who was at the Cannes Film Festival to present her new film, "The New Boy," said during a conversation that she has been trying to stop acting her entire professional life and wants to branch out into other filmmaking pursuits. She also talked about her work as a producer, which she said "feels (like) an extension, for me, of my work as an actor." Blanchett is an accomplished producer, executive producing films such as "Carol" and "Tár." She also discussed the importance of gender diversity in the film industry and her mandate to interview a woman and a person of color on all her projects going forward.
