Antonio Banderas

I am lucky, that is all. Lucky because there are a lot of people - producers, directors, people who buy tickets - who put confidence in me.

Everything changes as you get older - your mind, your body, the way you view the world.

The man who doesn't want anything is invincible.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

I wrote in the 'War of Art' that I could divide my life neatly into two parts: before turning pro and after. After is better.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
