"I like going everywhere. And I love starting new things"
About this Quote
The second line sharpens the image. “I love starting new things” is conspicuously about beginnings, not finishes. Subtext: novelty is the fuel. For an actor whose career has moved across languages, genres, and national industries, that’s less a motivational poster than a self-portrait. Banderas is one of the clearest examples of modern celebrity mobility: Spanish art-house credibility, Hollywood sex-symbol status, voice work for animated franchises, prestige collaborations, theater, even directing and business ventures. In that context, “starting” isn’t naïveté; it’s strategy. Reinvention is how you stay legible in a market that’s always replacing you.
There’s also a quiet defiance here against the idea that a successful life should narrow with age. The line reads like someone refusing the cultural script of settling into one lane, one identity, one “legacy.” It’s aspirational without sounding preachy because it comes wrapped in temperament: he isn’t telling you to hustle; he’s telling you what he enjoys. That’s why it works. The ambition is softened into pleasure, and the constant reset becomes not a crisis, but a choice.
