One thing I have clear is that I don't want to work for money anymore.

It's a character that I always found really likable. I'm fond of Zorro because he was a popular figure who worked for the people.

I've never worried about what audiences would accept or had a game plan regarding the career. I never had an idea of how I should look to my fans or anybody else.

Expectation is the mother of all frustration.

I'm a complete hypochondriac. If my heart starts beating a little faster than normal, I think I'm having an attack.

Everything changes as you get older - your mind, your body, the way you view the world.

I love my country. And I would have to renounce my Spanish citizenship to become a U.S. Citizen.

I do yoga every morning, then I run for half an hour and take a sauna.

Whatever happens in my life from now on, I know the day I finally die - the final act of my script - people will always make references to the work I’ve done with Almodóvar.

It was an honor and privilege to arrive to this country 16 years ago with almost no money in my pocket. A lot has happened since then.

I like going everywhere. And I love starting new things.

If it’s going to be a world with no time for sentiment, it’s not a world that I want to live in.

Character actors aren't a brand in the same way that high-profile leading men are.

When there is no longer a cyclone, there is no longer an eye. So the storms, crises and sufferings of life are a way of finding the eye.

As people do a task, they improve at it.

I don't think I've mastered anything. I'm still wrestling with the same frustrations, the same issues, the same problems as I always did. That's what life is like.

You don't want to be the best at what you do, you want to be the only one.

The process of writing a poem represents work done on the self of the poet, in order to make form.

As an actor you don't control the end result. Because you're a director, you get to control the end result. I think for us, we really have to show up and participate and give. And then let go.

I've been in perfect health and perfectly happy all my life. I don't take any pills; I just get up, clean up after my wife, and start typing every day.
