More quotes by 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
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
[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
We actors always say how difficult and physically demanding a role was. But give me a break, it's only a movie.
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
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
I can't imagine what it would be like being James Bond 24 hours. That must be exhausting.
Javier Bardem
You shall love. Whether you like it or not.
Javier Bardem
You don't need a man, you need a champion.
Javier Bardem
An award doesn't necessarily make you a better actor.
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
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 want to act because I don't know how to do anything else.
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
There is no good side to celebrity.
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
I retired from rugby because I was old and getting really slow.
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
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
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.
