Before I was ever in high school, I had dark circles under my eyes. The rumor was I was a junkie. I have dark circles under my eyes, deal with it.

Hopefully, I can play both sides of the fence. That's probably what winning the Oscar gives me, the chance to do something with a studio and do other things that I really want to do.

I mean I like most of the films that I've seen that I've been in. Those are the kind of films that I like to see. Am I getting better at making choices? Well, I think I might be getting better at reading scripts. Does that make any sense?

I mean ... when I won the Oscar, I was in my thirties, but if it had happened to me when I was 23 or 24, it would have been like f***ing hell. (He laughs.) I can look at the Oscar right now, and I've taken so many bangs and hits, and its like oookaayy. (He laughs.) I've paid my dues.

I trained as a theater actor and you had a bare stage and you had to pretend, one prop and you are in the middle of 8th Ave. and traffic is just going by.

I'm not Jack Nicholson. I'm not Brando. But I do mumble.

"I've had people ask me: 'How can you make a movie about a murderer? A terrorist?'"
"What they don't understand is that I'm in support of everyone who appears on screen. I have to be. I take the position of everyone who's on screen. I'm not judging them one way or another."

I've liked most of the films that I've been in and those are the kinds of films I like to see.

My goal as an actor has always been to reach a level where I can find a lot of interesting work, and I think I'm at that point now. The Oscar has given me a lot of recognition.

There's a lot of Latinos right now, a lot of filmmakers and writers that are Latin too.
- Benicio Del Toro Quote
To be honest with you, I'd rather not be working. When you work, there are all sorts of deadlines and pressures. I like to do one thing and take my time to do the other one.
- Benicio Del Toro Quote
When some people get parts, they feel they can now relax, but for me it was always the opposite. Sometimes before I do a movie or before I act out a scene, I may not sleep well the night before. If I don't know what the scene is about, I might get all worked up.
