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

I will work with a director who has good material because at the end of the day, that's what counts.

I'm happily married.

I've always belonged to the street, and I always will. It's in my DNA.

I've always said I don't believe in God, I believe in Al Pacino.

I've always said that playing rugby in Spain is like being a bullfighter in Japan.

Really, I don't see this heart-throb thing at all.

The award is important in order to bring people to the movie theater. That's the only principle meaning of any award.

The fact that I like to make characters doesn't mean that I like to watch my characters being made, my performance.

The middle and working classes are paying the debt that the financial markets created.

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

We actors always say how difficult and physically demanding a role was. But give me a break, it's only a movie.

We live in the moment now where this whole movie business is crazy.

You know I don't like to talk about my personal life.

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

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.

Imagine the situation between Israel and Palestine. It's such a big mess. You can be on one side or the other. But what's clear is that there's an urgent need for a solution there and that's been dragging on for so long.

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?'

Awards were made in Hollywood, in whatever the time it was created. They're to promote each other's movies. You give me an award, I give you an award and people will believe that we are great movies and they'll go to see them. It's still the same.

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.
