Sounds like you want InvokeRepeating or perhaps a coroutine.

For example:

 function Start() {
     //10 minutes is 600 seconds
     InvokeRepeating("Tick", 600, 600);
 }

 function Tick() {
     Debug.Log("Ten minutes have passed");
 }

This should work:

 var PauseTime: float = 600;
 private var NextTime : float = 0;

 function Update () {
 if (Time.time > NextTime ) {
 NextTime = Time.time + PauseTime;
 
 animation.Play("Blank");
 
 }
 }
