- I've always felt very well taken care of in Buenos Aires. Every time I went there. So, I'll probably go again on vacation or to promote a movie.
- I wouldn't change Cantabria for any other place in the world.
- [on other people using his name on twitter] I had to get out of the twitter closet due to impersonation problems.
- When I was a little boy, I loved watching Marilyn Monroe's and Paul Newman's films, but today, I'm amazed by Javier Bardem's talent.
- [when asked about his upcoming TV series "Homicidios"] If I had to be a serial killer, I'd be the one from A Clockwork Orange (1971)
- I wanna keep on shooting in Argentina and the rest of Latin America, USA, France, Spain. I hope I can keep on doing what I've been doing so far: Movies in different languages and genres.
- I'm so lucky because I've been in Africa, in Madagascar. I've been in Europe, in France, Spain. I've been in Switzerland. I've been in the United States shooting a movie in California. I've been in Mexico City shooting 'Vantage Point.' I've been in Argentina, Chile. I want to travel all around the world and visit different cultures. Hopefully, I can do different stories of different cultures. That's going to be rewarding for me personally, as a person, as a man, not only as an actor.
- [regarding his part in El Lobo] I didn't want to play the hero. I wanted to play a simple guy who is manipulated, who didn't know how far he was going to go; a guy who is trapped as an animal between two dangerous worlds much bigger than him. His story's really tragic. He spent two years inside ETA feeling fear. He had to act all the time, control his behavior the whole time. And it's based on a subject really important to us in Spain.
- [on playing Che Guevara] If I was nervous about playing el "Lobo", imagine how I felt to play Che Guevara. He is known worldwide. He's a myth. Many people think that they know a lot about him, but most times they don't. Many things about him were said, but many of them untrue. Only few people know the real story.
- [when asked about his upcoming TV series "Homicidios"] If I had to be a serial killer, I'd be the one from A Clockwork Orange (1971).
- [when asked about being referred to as the Spanish ambassador for Argentinian actors] I don't consider myself ambassador of anything, Leo (Sbaraglia) says that because he's my friend and loves me, but I'm just a Spanish actor who can recognize talent when I see it and here (Argentina) there's a lot of it. [La Nación magazine, March, 2006]
- [on working with him in The Last Stand (2013)] One of the good things about working with Arnold Schwarzenegger is that I'll be able to pronounce and spell his name correctly at last.
- [after being asked what he'd like to be asked] Exactly that! Thank you.
- I'd love to make a biographical movie of Chopin. That would be a wonderful excuse to play piano again.
- Every time it's said that Messi is in crisis, he lands four goals. (20 Feb. 2012)
- It will be very difficult for Barcelona FC to win any cup this year, but Gosh! It's wonderful to see them play! (17 March, 2012)
- Beauty sells, even if it's something subjective, and so does youth. But youth has not value alone.
- Ethics set boundaries that must never be crossed. Ethics must be poured in everything we do in our life.
- Actors always work with our memory, and it shows. That's why we must work it out very often.
- I've got the feeling that we always remember that thing that shocked us. A memory always hides an emotion.
- I'm very grateful for having started my career with Amenábar.
- When the Open Your Eyes (1997) script got to my hands, I was shocked by its complexity, but I couldn't stop reading it.
- [on Open Your Eyes (1997)] Someone told me once: If there weren't challenges, life would be boring", that's why I decided to take the chance and play this very important role.
- [on Open Your Eyes (1997)] The movie shows how your looks can determinate a temper.
