Kids come first for Cate Blanchett

“With my film choices it used to be a question of,’Who’s directing it?’ Now it’s,’How long is the shoot and where are they filming?’ Recently I said yes to something because filming is in the Easter holidays. The children need to be in school now,” Contactmusic quoted her telling Style magazine.

The 40-year-old actress,who co-directs the Sydney Theatre Company with her husband,always charts out her schedules keeping in mind what her affect it may have on her sons.

“The main priorities are the children and the theatre.

After breakfast,I walk the kids to school – they go to the state primary at the end of the street. Then I either work from home or go into the office at the theatre. Andrew and I job-share,so there’s always someone to motor the family wheels,” said the actress.
