More quotes by Javier Bardem
The award is important in order to bring people to the movie theater. That's the only principle meaning of any award.
Javier Bardem
My concern is to continue respecting my work as I've done since I began as an actor and I could only do that if I'm strong enough to keep on doing what I think best in an artistic way.
Javier Bardem
When you know people are really at peace with who they are and what they do, they collaborate and want to help you to improve.
Javier Bardem
The earliest memories I have from my childhood are of my mum getting ready to go on stage. I must have been about five and I would watch her vomiting backstage on opening night, and then the next minute she became Isabella, the Queen of Spain. At the time I remember thinking, 'What kind of schizophrenic job is this?' Now it all makes sense.
Javier Bardem
I look at myself, and I see a Spanish person who's trying to be understood by an English-speaking audience and is putting a lot of energy into that, instead of into expressing himself freely and feeling comfortable.
Javier Bardem
A part of being an actor is I people watch. I like to observe their behaviour, watch their reactions on the street and see how they talk to each other, and that's impossible when they are looking back at you. I used to enjoy taking the train and watching people in their own minds, struggling with themselves.
Javier Bardem
All of the good movies are based on how that story was told. And you cannot do it with a bad script, that's for sure, no matter who.
Javier Bardem
We actors always say how difficult and physically demanding a role was. But give me a break, it's only a movie.
Javier Bardem
I think we are living in selfish times. I'm the first one to say that I'm the most selfish. We live in the so-called 'first world,' and we may be first in a lot of things like technology, but we are behind in empathy.
Javier Bardem
When I see myself at 14 years old I can put my hands on my head and think: 'How could I have done that?' but at that time it had sense for me. You do the same when you're 20. And now, when you look at people who are 20 years old you ask yourself: 'Was I like that? Was I really like that?'
Javier Bardem
People have been born in refugee camps and they are getting tired of that.
Javier Bardem
Bond is the longest-running franchise ever and there's a reason for that: they are action movies but they are also touched by current events without being political or too serious.
Javier Bardem
There is no middle ground in Hollywood you're a failure or you're a success. That mentality is wild.
Javier Bardem
I was raised not to be afraid to show emotion or imagination.
Javier Bardem
I used to be a good party boy. I'm old. I'm an old man. You pay the consequences. I'm just fine with a couple of drinks, no more than that.
Javier Bardem
The only thing I can do is act, but it's not something I even feel comfortable doing. It costs me a lot, because I'm a shy person, even if I don't look it.
Javier Bardem
Sometimes I say to myself, what are you doing in this absurd job? Why don't you go to Africa and help people? But I cannot help people, because I am a hypochondriac.
Javier Bardem
I truly thank whoever's up there for giving me the opportunity to be loved.
Javier Bardem
But I remember the moment when my father died. I wasn't a very committed Catholic beforehand, but when that happened it suddenly all felt so obvious: I now believe religion is our attempt to find an explanation, for us to feel more protected.
Javier Bardem
I've always said I don't believe in God, I believe in Al Pacino.
Javier Bardem
