More quotes by Javier Bardem
I will work with a director who has good material because at the end of the day, that's what counts.
Javier Bardem
There is no middle ground in Hollywood you're a failure or you're a success. That mentality is wild.
Javier Bardem
You shall love. Whether you like it or not.
Javier Bardem
I can't imagine what it would be like being James Bond 24 hours. That must be exhausting.
Javier Bardem
I've always said I don't believe in God, I believe in Al Pacino.
Javier Bardem
I enjoy my job as long as I can create a character, otherwise it's boring.
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
Awards were made in Hollywood, in whatever the time it was created. They're to promote each other's movies. You give me an award, I give you an award and people will believe that we are great movies and they'll go to see them. It's still the same.
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
You don't need a man, you need a champion.
Javier Bardem
There is no good side to celebrity.
Javier Bardem
An award doesn't necessarily make you a better actor.
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
Everybody in Spain is sick of me. But in America, there's curiosity about the new kid on the block who doesn't speak English very well. The attention makes me feel vulnerable, which is something I hadn't felt in a while. But I like it.
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
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
People have been born in refugee camps and they are getting tired of that.
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
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.
