Quote of the Day

"The fact that I like to make characters doesn't mean that I like to watch my characters being made, my performance. I can't even watch that fucking nose, that fucking voice, those ridiculous eyes. I can't handle that. But when I'm doing it, I don't see my nose or hear my voice; it's like there's something stronger, bigger than that. And I need to express it."—Actor Javier Bardem, on not being able to watch his own films.

From this GQ cover story on Bardem, who is one of my favorite actors. I don't know a lot about him; he sounds like a very interesting guy.
