Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Joaquim: A lot of times you feel somebody staring at you. But it's the kind of stare that you say, "He's not recognizing me..." And finally they say, "I apologize for staring. I couldn't figure out who you were -- but I knew you were dangerous."
-
Joaquim: Believe me, you get tired of dying. I'm getting bored with machine guns. Once they had me die of a heart attack, and that was something new. I enjoyed that very much.
-
Joaquim: I rarely am cast as a bad guy in Europe. In the States, it's always the elegantly dressed bad guy. When you have a foreign raspy low voice, that helps.
