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.

Image
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
Image
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
Image
People have been born in refugee camps and they are getting tired of that.
Javier Bardem
Image
I truly thank whoever's up there for giving me the opportunity to be loved.

The award is important in order to bring people to the movie theater. That's the only principle meaning of any award.
Javier Bardem
Image
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?'

I retired from rugby because I was old and getting really slow.

I want to act because I don't know how to do anything else.

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.

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.

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
I enjoy my job as long as I can create a character, otherwise it's boring.

An award doesn't necessarily make you a better actor.
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.

I was raised not to be afraid to show emotion or imagination.

Image
I can't imagine what it would be like being James Bond 24 hours. That must be exhausting.
Javier Bardem
Image
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.

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.
