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.

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.

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

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?'

I can't imagine what it would be like being James Bond 24 hours. That must be exhausting.

I have a man and a woman in the same body; I have the male and female values in the same body.

I enjoy my job as long as I can create a character, otherwise it's boring.
