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.

More quotes by 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
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
In Spain we have a saying about the essentials of life: good food, good wine, good sex, good sleep.
Antonio Banderas
It was an honor and privilege to arrive to this country 16 years ago with almost no money in my pocket. A lot has happened since then.
Antonio Banderas
I like flesh. I do! Something to hold.
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
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
There are some movies that I would like to forget, for the rest of my life. But even those movies teach me things.
Antonio Banderas
My Spanish is getting a little bit loose. Sometimes I go to Spain and after I've been talking with my folks for a while... you start changing the verb for the adjective, for example, which is a common thing between Spanish and English. I change that sometimes but after a couple days there, boom, I'm back.
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
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
I like going everywhere. And I love starting new things.
Antonio Banderas
I don't believe in any kind of fundamentalism.
Antonio Banderas
I remember in Law of Desire, where I played a homosexual, that people were more upset that I kissed a man on the mouth than I killed a man. It's interesting to see how people can pardon you for murdering a man, but they can't pardon you for kissing one.
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
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 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
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.
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
