More quotes by 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 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
An award doesn't necessarily make you a better actor.
Javier Bardem
I enjoy my job as long as I can create a character, otherwise it's boring.
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
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
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
People have been born in refugee camps and they are getting tired of that.
Javier Bardem
You don't need a man, you need a champion.
Javier Bardem
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.
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
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 good side to celebrity.
Javier Bardem
I truly thank whoever's up there for giving me the opportunity to be loved.
Javier Bardem
I retired from rugby because I was old and getting really slow.
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
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 was raised not to be afraid to show emotion or imagination.
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
