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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I want to act because I don't know how to do anything else.
Javier Bardem
Image
There is no middle ground in Hollywood you're a failure or you're a success. That mentality is wild.
Javier Bardem
Image
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.

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.

I was raised not to be afraid to show emotion or imagination.
Javier Bardem
Image
I retired from rugby because I was old and getting really slow.
Javier Bardem
Image
We live in a world of denial, and we don't know what the truth is anymore.
Javier Bardem
Image
I truly don't have any formula for the choices I make.
Javier Bardem
Image
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
Image
I live in Spain. Oscars are something that are on TV Sunday night. Basically, very late at night. You don't watch, you just read the news after who won or who lost.
Javier Bardem
Image
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
Image
Every time I wake up, I see myself like somebody beat me up.
Javier Bardem
Image
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
Image
I can't imagine what it would be like being James Bond 24 hours. That must be exhausting.
Javier Bardem
Image
We actors always say how difficult and physically demanding a role was. But give me a break, it's only a movie.
Javier Bardem
Image
I've always said I don't believe in God, I believe in Al Pacino.
Javier Bardem
Image
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.
