The good thing about being an actor, and the gift of being an actor, is that you are beautifully forced to see the world with different eyes.

My concern is to continue respecting my work as I've done since I began as an actor and I could only do that if I'm strong enough to keep on doing what I think best in an artistic way.

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

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

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.

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.

Sometimes I say to myself, what are you doing in this absurd job? Why don't you go to Africa and help people? But I cannot help people, because I am a hypochondriac.
