My truth - what I believe - is...

My truth - what I believe - is that there are no answers here and, if you are looking for answers, you'd better choose the question carefully.

I was emotionally and physical...

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.

When you put gas in your car you are making a political statement, because you are supporting the empires that control and continue the destruction of some countries.

We live in a world of denial, and we don't know what the truth is anymore.

I think we are living in selfi...

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.

But I remember the moment when...

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.

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.

I was raised not to be afraid to show emotion or imagination.

You want to do your job well so that people in the future say, 'OK, he's not bad, let's hire him.'

Even in the darkest regions, people have discovered their right of freedom.

There is no middle ground in Hollywood you're a failure or you're a success. That mentality is wild.

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.

The earliest memories I have f...

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.

I wanted to become a painter for a while. I think it was because I was lazy.

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.

I look in the mirror and I don...

I look in the mirror and I don't see a sex symbol. I just see a guy who looks like he's been beaten with a baseball bat. I mean, is this the face of a sex symbol? They say that because I work in the movies.

I'm getting so old - it's more...

I'm getting so old - it's more uncomfortable to do those scenes now than when I was 20. I mean, I don't have a big problem with nudity on screen. But usually the days when you do those naked love scenes are the weirdest ones on set. Everyone is uncomfortable. You're like, 'Hi. How are you?' Then the next minute you're with an actress who you don't know and you're pretending to make love to her in front of all the crew. The acting challenge is pretending things are OK.

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.'

In 22 years of acting, I've only done two movies where I, personally, kill people. The Coens called me the Spanish Ballerina on (the No Country For Old Men) set, because every time I had the gun, when they called cut, I'd give it back and say, 'Take this s**t out of my hands!' There were laughing, like they couldn't believe I was supposed to be the villain.

I'm a huge fan of the director, Alejandro GonzГЎlez IГ±ГЎrritu, and his work, and I knew he was going to be an amazing actor's director, based on the performances that I saw in his movies.
