More quotes by Javier Bardem
An award doesn't necessarily make you a better actor.
Javier Bardem
I retired from rugby because I was old and getting really slow.
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
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
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
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
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
People have been born in refugee camps and they are getting tired of that.
Javier Bardem
I can't imagine what it would be like being James Bond 24 hours. That must be exhausting.
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
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.
Javier Bardem
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.
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
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
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 truly don't have any formula for the choices I make.
Javier Bardem
I enjoy my job as long as I can create a character, otherwise it's boring.
Javier Bardem
I've always said I don't believe in God, I believe in Al Pacino.
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
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
