More quotes by Javier Bardem
I was raised not to be afraid to show emotion or imagination.
Javier Bardem
I've always said I don't believe in God, I believe in Al Pacino.
Javier Bardem
I truly thank whoever's up there for giving me the opportunity to be loved.
Javier Bardem
But don't call me an actor. I'm just a worker. I am an entertainer. Don't say that what I am doing is art.
Javier Bardem
You shall love. Whether you like it or not.
Javier Bardem
[That night] I was sitting by Jack Nicholson with my long list of thanks, and I said, `I'm so nervous. I don't know what to say if I go up there.' He said, `Don't get emotional, drop the names, and dedicate it to your mother.'
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
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
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
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
Every time I wake up, I see myself like somebody beat me up.
Javier Bardem
You don't need a man, you need a champion.
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
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
I look in the mirror and I don't see a sex symbol. I just see a guy who looks like he's been beaten with a baseball bat. I mean, is this the face of a sex symbol? They say that because I work in the movies.
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
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
When you are portraying somebody that has a very specific emotional weight, you feel like you're really starting to abandon your own body and go to someplace else.
Javier Bardem
I am always saying, 'I don't believe in God I believe in Al Pacino.' And that's true. If I ever get a phone call saying 'Would you like to work with Al Pacino?' I would go crazy.
Javier Bardem
I can't imagine what it would be like being James Bond 24 hours. That must be exhausting.
