How did it feel going back to that character and that universe?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Cate Blanchett<\/strong>: I&#8217;m more mature as an actress; that&#8217;s what made me want to play her again. Peter called me and thought I might not accept the role. I told him &#8220;Are you kidding me? Of course I will!&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Galadriel is a special character to me, mythic and fascinating. It was as enjoyable to shoot as Lord of the Rings. When I wore the elf ears again, I had this wonderful feeling of dej\u00e1 v\u00fa. I couldn&#8217;t stop laughing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">I was very young when I played Galadriel. I hope to have evolved, to be a better actress, person and mother. Professionally I think I&#8217;m much more flexible now, and easier to work with. I know Peter thinks so!
