Every Time I Wake Up, I See

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.

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.

Everybody In Spain Is Sick Of Me. But In America, There's Curiosity About The New Kid On The Block Who Doesn't Speak English Very Well. The Attention Makes Me Feel Vulnerable, Which Is Something I Hadn't Felt In A While. But I Like It.

I Think We Are Living In Selfish Times. I'm The First One To Say That I'm The Most Selfish. We Live In The So-called 'first World,' And We May Be First In A Lot Of Things Like Technology, But We Are Behind In Empathy.

I Can't Imagine What It Would Be Like Being James Bond 24 Hours. That Must Be Exhausting.
