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.

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
Image
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

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.

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
Image
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
Image
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.

We're living in hard times.
Antonio Banderas
Image
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.
