Cate Blanchett wants to quit acting so she can concentrate on motherhood.

The Oscar-winning actress - who has two sons, Dashiell, five and three-year-old Roman with husband Andrew Upton - is moving to her native Australia for the sake of her family, and says when she moves she will work a lot less.

Cate - who will be a co-director of the Sydney Theatre Company with Andrew when she relocates - said: "Dashiell's five now. He needs to be settled and I respect that.

"Believe it or not, I'm pretty good at just doing nothing. I'm either sitting very still or running very fast."

Cate also says she is keen to add to her brood in the near future.

The 38-year-old actress told W magazine: "We're not going to wait forever. God, I'd love it to be now. I'd love it to be next week."

Earlier this week, the 'Elizabeth' star revealed she had her breasts "strapped down" for her latest movie.

Cate plays legendary singer Bob Dylan in the new biopic 'I'm Not There' - directed by Todd Haynes - and admits she had to make some major adjustments to her body.

She said: "I had to strap those breasts down, and just go for it!"
