Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Q: Could you talk about Elizabeth and Sir Walter Raleigh's romantic chemistry? It seems like their timing is off.
Blanchett: Timing is everything, isn't it? What interested me about the relationship between Raleigh and Elizabeth in this particular incarnation of this set of events was that there was a vicariousness to it. I think that happens in a lot of so-called love relationships; you almost want to be the person as much as you want to possess the person. I think there were a lot of male courtiers over the years that Elizabeth had strong connections with, and I think she was probably fascinated by the freedom that was afforded - not only to an adventurer like Raleigh, but also the men in the court that could travel a lot more freely than she could. She never left the shores of England.
