Quote of the Week ~ Cate Blanchette

Oscar-winner Cate Blanchette is disgusted by how many of her Hollywood peers have succumbed to using face-paralyzing Botox. The 35 year- old actress is happy to age gracefully and is saddened so many young girls are injecting the chemical into their faces in the hope of retaining eternal youth. Blanchett says, "It's not just women on film, 18-year-old girls feel pressure to do preventative injecting. I see someone's face, someone's body who'd had children and I think they're the song lines of your experience, and why would you want to eradicate that? I look at people sort of entombing themselves and all you see is their little pin holes of terror... and you think, just live your life, death is not going to be any easier just because your face can't move."

i think that's an awesome quote. it's getting rarer and rarer to hear things like that in the media. it's really frightening how quickly cosmetic and anti-aging surgery is becoming the norm.

I LOVE Cate Blanchett, she's a true actor - the rare chameleon kind, and now that I've read this quote from her on Come On Pilgrim, well I just love her MORE!
