As this spring’s Take the Lead hits DVD in advance of another season of Dancing With the Stars, it’s worth noting that Antonio Banderas continues to cut his own path, sometimes to the chagrin of his agents and manager. A gleam in his eye, Banderas leans forward somewhat
conspiratorially. “People may not understand it from the outside, but
I’m not so worried about that,” he insists. “In fact, I am not worried
about my career at all. I think it’s an act of narcissism to be too
worried about your career.”
“I’ve done everything in my career. I’ve done movies for kids, I’ve done
underground movies with [Pedro] Almodovar, I’ve done action movies,
I’ve done musicals, I’ve done cartoons, I’ve done theater, I’ve
directed and I don’t care what people are going to say when I die. F*ck
’em, I don’t care.” For the full feature, re-posted on FilmStew from the film’s theatrical bow, click here.
