Up until the time I was 31 years old, in Spain, I still didn't know how I was going to pay the rent.

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.

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

I can't stand a sentence until it sounds right.

People who know me, recognize a definite difference in my poise and in my personality, because I've grown.

When I was young I used to sit in the cinema thinking wouldn't it be great if you could have a film in which the characters were like real people instead of being like actors.

Do poets have any insight into what's the right ratio? I doubt it, but I think that they can be awake to what the ends are.

It's just unreal, I'm shocked myself. I've played good matches here, but never really almost destroyed somebody.

Words are contact with other beings. I see a word that says something I've noticed, seen, felt, obserevd, and I capture it; "I need that word!"
