Cinderella star Cate Blanchett covers the April issue of Vogue Australia and opens up about family life with husband Andrew Upton and their four children: sons Dashiell, 13, Roman, 10, and Ignatius, 6, and newborn daughter Edith.

On how motherhood has changed her: “Children certainly teach one about compromise. I think before having children the idea of compromise rubbed shoulders with weakness or deception in some way. Children are spirited, passionate, political, demanding. They are also heartbreaking. They constantly extend parents and so parents are constantly confronted with their failures, don’t you think? I’d rather presently live life this way than not.”

On gender inequality in Hollywood: “Female audiences are driving the change, I think. Women don’t stop consuming cultural product once they stop menstruating…. There are countless industries around the world where women in top positions are not equally remunerated for equal work.”
