More quotes by Antonio Banderas
Sometimes I am just playing the character. I will move out of the way of the microphone, and they will have to tell me. Because I am moving around a lot. I am performing the cat. The animators look for that material, to see if they can put it back into the movie.

If they had offered me James Bond, I probably couldn't have gone to England anymore in my life. James Bond with an accent? That would have been something.
Antonio Banderas
I drink a bucket of white tea in the morning. I read about this tea of the Emperor of China, which is supposedly the tea of eternal youth. It's called Silver Needle. It's unbelievably expensive, but I get it on the Web.
Antonio Banderas
Expectation is the mother of all frustration.
Antonio Banderas
I had an idea and I wanted just to make it work. And I am never, ever secure on the set that what I am doing is going to translate to the screen. It never changes.
Antonio Banderas
Im now projecting my career in a totally different direction. I am going to work less-way less. And I want to work better. I want to direct again, I want to do more theatre, and I want to do exactly those movies that I want to do.

Characters don't belong to anyone, not even the person who plays them.
Antonio Banderas
I divide my time badly.
Antonio Banderas
I have a fantastic studio in my home, and it's my biggest toy. I have about a half a million dollars worth of musical equipment in my house.
Antonio Banderas
We are now integrated into American society and I don't like the word fashionable, because fashionable means that it's going to pass. It's not like that anymore.
Antonio Banderas
I don't think there is a guy that played more gay characters than I have done in my life.
Antonio Banderas
I think I am good in the department of body language and fighting, and stuff like that. It's just natural to me, maybe because I love sports.
Antonio Banderas
Up until the time I was 31 years old, in Spain, I still didn't know how I was going to pay the rent.
Antonio Banderas
In Spain we have a saying about the essentials of life: good food, good wine, good sex, good sleep.
Antonio Banderas
I cry a lot, you know. Which is very difficult for a man to recognise, but I do. I cry in movies, you know, just watching movies.
Antonio Banderas
Sometimes I feel very guilty, so I don't know if I am a clear example of a perfect father, because sometimes I also just punish myself, saying I'm not doing probably the right thing at this particular moment. It's a secret.
Antonio Banderas
Movies serve many purposes, and I've visited many of those genres, from the most light, frivolous comedy that is just trying to make you laugh, to movies that explore the most complicated side of the human soul. As an actor, I play all of those things, and I still like it.
