- Feeling
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Myself

- Nov 07, 2020
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.

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.

- Live
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Meaning
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The award is important in order to bring people to the movie theater. That's the only principle meaning of any award.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Chance

Some quality performances and movies have a chance to be rewarded, but it's not like it's a bible.

What does my performance have to do with Russell Crowe's? Nothing. If I play Gladiator and we all play Gladiator with Ridley Scott in the same amount of time, maybe we have a chance to see who did it best.
- Difficult
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We actors always say how difficult and physically demanding a role was. But give me a break, it's only a movie.
- Choices
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I truly don't have any formula for the choices I make.
- Nov 07, 2020
Celebrity is very weird.
- Better
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
An award doesn't necessarily make you a better actor.
- Best
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Now, there are so many movies, so many festivals, and so many awards going on, each judged with each other, like your work is worse than others and that's not fair. How can you tell what's best and what's worst from these awards? We're talking about art.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- People

- Nov 07, 2020
I have this problem with violence. I've only done one movie in almost 20 years where I killed people. It's called Perdita Durango. It's a Spanish movie. I'm very proud of the movie, but I felt weird doing that.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The personal thing is something I have never talked about. And I never will. That is prohibited. My job is public. But that's it. When you're not working, you don't have an obligation to be public.
- Good

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.
- Experience
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was emotionally and physically punched in the stomach. This is not a place where you go and deliver the lines and then you come back. It's kind of a life-changing experience. But it can't get better than this for any actor - this is like an opera.
- Really
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Really, I don't see this heart-throb thing at all.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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?'
- Look

And the whole Oscar thing, that is just surreal: you spend months and months doing promotion, and then come back to reality with this golden thing in your hands. You put it in the office and then you just have to look at it sitting on the shelf. And, after about two weeks, you go: 'What is that doing there?'
