More quotes by Antonio Banderas
When you work in a different language you are not so attached to the words.
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
People are not patient anymore.
Antonio Banderas
I love the diversity of America. I love the plain, normal sense of humor Americans have. It is not wicked, like in some countries. And I also love how new America is.
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.
Antonio Banderas
I often feel very guilty because of the time that I spend outside of my home and the little time that sometimes I have for my kids.
Antonio Banderas
You have to be in good shape, basically. And then, you have to have a certain craziness, if you're going to do some of the action things.
Antonio Banderas
This girl said Yes when I wasn't ready. I kissed her lightly and got so dizzy I had to sit down.
Antonio Banderas
If you call a cat, he may not come. Which doesn't happen with dogs. They're different types of animals. Cats are very sexy I think too in the way they move.
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
I've never liked watching real-life couples play couples onscreen or onstage. It takes me out of the story.
Antonio Banderas
[Pablo] Picasso was born in my hometown, in Málaga, so I have this of strange connection with his persona and with what he did. He left Málaga, practically at the same time and age that I did.
Antonio Banderas
When you go to the movie theater and the opening of this movie and you see the kids just cracking up with a character you are giving your voice to, you get goose bumps. It's so beautiful.
Antonio Banderas
I don't believe in any kind of fundamentalism.
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
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
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.
Antonio Banderas
I like going everywhere. And I love starting new things.
Antonio Banderas
It is very difficult to follow your own method all the time because you may crash against some directors who want from you something different. Trying to understand the material, who you're working with, and how can you fit in there. That is my approach.
Antonio Banderas
I couldn't be with someone who is depressed all the time.
