"I was raised not to be afraid to show emotion or imagination." ― Javier Bardem Topic(s): Imagination More From Javier Bardem "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." "Some quality performances and movies have a chance to be rewarded, but it’s not like it’s a bible." "I was emotionally and physically punched in the stomach. This is not a place where you go and deliver the lines and then you come back. It’s kind of a life-changing experience. But it can’t get better than this for any actor – this is like an opera." More In Imagination "My books are elegiac in the sense that they’re odes to a nation that even I sometimes think may not exist anymore except in my memory and my imagination."― Richard Russo "My identity is linked to my grandmother, who’s pure Filipino, as pure as you can probably get. And that shaped my imagination. So that’s how I identify."― Jessica Hagedorn "To them though, not to us, we were just a catalyst for their imagination."― Donald Sutherland
