More quotes by Antonio Banderas
Every time, I reaffirm in myself that the more comfortable you are, the less you are creating. You have to feel a little bit of pain in the creation.
Antonio Banderas

Antonio Banderas
This girl said Yes when I wasn't ready. I kissed her lightly and got so dizzy I had to sit down.

I mean, the Constitution of this country was written 200 years ago. The house I was living in in Madrid is 350 years old! America is still a project, and you guys are working on it and bringing new things to it every day. That is beautiful to watch.
Antonio Banderas
I don't believe in any kind of fundamentalism.
Antonio Banderas
Hollywood is a very strong machine that needs, and in... especially with female actors, fresh flesh. It's that cruel. But that's the way it is.
Antonio Banderas
It is just a very freaky experience when you go to the movie theater and you see it for the first time. In close-up you see those eyes. There are little touches here and there that I recognize as myself. The process is fun.
Antonio Banderas
First of all, we have exactly the opposite type of audiences, for obvious reasons. So the competition is not going to be between the movies. I wish Dakota the best, not only because of this movie. I know the expectations of these movies are enormous but we know-every member of the family, brother, sister, real father-that she's a good actress.”
Antonio Banderas

When you work in a different language you are not so attached to the words.
Antonio Banderas
I wake up every morning, look in the mirror and ask, 'Am I a sex symbol?' Then I go back to bed again. It's stupid to think that way.
Antonio Banderas
I'm in my 60s now, and just running almost 50 meters with explosives going on, it was kind of like, Oh, my god! What am I doing here?
Antonio Banderas
Whatever happens in my life from now on, I know the day I finally die - the final act of my script - people will always make references to the work I’ve done with Almodóvar.
Antonio Banderas
One thing I have clear is that I don't want to work for money anymore.
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 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
I like flesh. I do! Something to hold.
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.
Antonio Banderas
As much as you know it, and you know the method, you can pretty much do what you want. No idea is going to be shot down. You just put it in the garbage later. You have to say the lines in many different ways. So they have a lot of material to work.
