Antonio BanderasMaking movies is difficult and you get disorientated sometimes - even when you're working with fantastic talent.
Antonio BanderasWhen you go to a movie with so many stars [like The Expendables 3], you don't know what you're going to find, exactly.

It's worse, actually, when you have people around you that are very hungry to obtain something that they never had. Success.

Ever since I met Melanie, that was almost nine years ago now, you have to just speak the language continuously, hone every word. So, and the proof for me of that, was actually in theater. It has to be two hours and 45 minutes on the stage speaking a language that is not your language, and singing.
