Javier Bardem Job Quotations

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

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 do a job and am lucky enough to do a job that I love, but it is a hard one. I'm not saying it is as hard as working in a coal mine, but it is still difficult in a different way. Sometimes you have to go through very strong emotional journeys and then come back to yourself. And that can be difficult to control.

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

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

I'm a great believer in stunt doubles. They do an amazing job.

The personal thing is something I have never talked about. And I never will. That is prohibited. My job is public. But that's it. When you're not working, you don't have an obligation to be public.
