In my personal life, I am very contemplative.
Antonio Banderas
I do yoga every morning, then I run for half an hour and take a sauna.
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
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 know, if I had the secret recipe that I actually could give everybody, I think it has to do very much with believing in yourself and giving time. Giving time to each member of the family.
Antonio Banderas

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
Characters don't belong to anyone, not even the person who plays them.
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
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
I completely take on the risk, the poker game, which being an artist means, and I'm going to try to make a film which honestly reflects what I have in my head.
Antonio Banderas
I've always been an optimistic guy, to tell you the truth.
Antonio Banderas
When you work in a different language you are not so attached to the words.
