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.

More quotes by 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
The recycling in my house was imposed by my kids.
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
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 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 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
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
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
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.
Antonio Banderas
I divide my time badly.
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
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
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'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
We're living in hard times.
Antonio Banderas
I always feel that art in general and acting in particular should make the audience a little uncomfortable, to slap them and wake them up.
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
In my personal life, I am very contemplative.
