More quotes by Javier Bardem
We live in a world of denial, and we don't know what the truth is anymore.
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
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 don't know how to drive a car. The only thing I can do is act, but it's not something I even feel comfortable doing.
Javier Bardem
There is no good side to celebrity.
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
Even in the darkest regions, people have discovered their right of freedom.
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
As an actor, you can't judge. A great actress from Spain said, We, the actors, are lawyers of the characters we play. We have to defend them, no matter what.
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
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
I can't imagine what it would be like being James Bond 24 hours. That must be exhausting.
Javier Bardem
You don't need a man, you need a champion.
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
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
Every time I wake up, I see myself like somebody beat me up.
Javier Bardem
I retired from rugby because I was old and getting really slow.
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
You shall love. Whether you like it or not.
Javier Bardem
I was raised not to be afraid to show emotion or imagination.
Javier Bardem
