"CAROLE RADZIWILL: In the past two years, you&amp;amp;#8217;ve played a dance teacher in Take the Lead, a reporter in Bordertown and a swashbuckling, boot-wearing kitten in Shrek the Third. You&amp;amp;#8217;re very versatile. ANTONIO BANDERAS: I love having an eclectic career. CR: What are you interested in now? AB: I&amp;amp;#8217;m working on a play, Don Giovanni. CR: Are you going to play the lead, Don Juan? AB: Yes. CR: Haven&amp;amp;#8217;t you already lived that part? AB: [Laughs.] Oh, yeah. When I was 20 years old and I had money in my pocket and I was in Madrid, I was totally crazy. I had a lot of fun. I was very sexual. CR: What do you consider romantic? AB: Anyone can experience the rush of a new relationship. What&amp;amp;#8217;s more interesting is falling in love with my own wife again, and feeling the rush I felt at the beginning. CR: Can you fall in love over and over with the same person? AB: You can. Today people break up at the first crisis. If you weather it, you come out stronger as a couple. There&amp;amp;#8217;s also a big issue of lying at the beginning of a relationship. You don&amp;amp;#8217;t present yourself as you really are. CR: If we all acted like ourselves on the first date, none of us would get a second date. AB: [Laughs.] It&amp;amp;#8217;s true. CR: You and Melanie [Griffith] have been married more than 11 years now. What first attracted you to her? AB: Before I fell in love with Melanie, I thought she was one of the best comic actors of the eighties. CR: So it was her sense of humor? AB: Yes. I relate a sense of humor to irony, and irony to intelligence. I think she&amp;amp;#8217;s extremely sexual, too. CR: Is it hard to keep that going as you get older? AB: Melanie will be 90 and she&amp;amp;#8217;ll still be sexy! CR: Actresses often talk about how difficult it is to find good parts as they get older. Do actors worry about the same thing? AB: No, we don&amp;amp;#8217;t&amp;amp;#8212;and it&amp;amp;#8217;s unfair. CR: You just came out with a new fragrance, Blue Seduction for Men. Did you actually pick the scent? AB: Yeah. They gave me this big briefcase full of little bottles. They even had the scent of recently washed clothes from the nineteenth century! CR: Old clothes? That&amp;amp;#8217;s the scent of a man? AB: It depends. Coffee and wood are considered very male scents too. CR: I don&amp;amp;#8217;t know if I could date a guy who smelled better than I did. AB: [Laughs.] Sometimes there is too much grooming. A man has to have a roughness quality. CR: And the most attractive quality in a woman? AB: Trustworthiness. I also love honesty. CR: So what do you think: Would you like to see a world ruled by women? AB: Absolutely. I don&amp;amp;#8217;t think men have done a very good job running the world. I would tell the men, &amp;amp;#8220;Go home, change diapers and let the women rule.&amp;amp;#8221; I&amp;amp;#8217;d like to see a world with a feminine touch. Carole Radziwill is the author of the memoir What Remains, now available in paperback."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
