How did you approach playing Zorro for a second time?

We said to ourselves: 'What are we going to do?' And we had to make sure we had a strong story.

There must have been talk over the years of making a second film?

Oh yes. But it wasn't an easy thing to put Cathy [Zeta Jones] and myself and Martin [Campbell] together -- and not only us, some of the key people behind the camera. But when we got it and we got a great script, we were ready.

When did you know?

[Smiles] When I got the script and read to page 10 and saw that Zorro is getting divorced from his wife, I was saying to myself, 'This is good. This is going to take him to the Tequila...'

You know, he could get drunk because he is devastated to lose his wife and that way he is not Zorro all the time. So we went back to that kind of thing that we had in the first film that I was afraid of losing in the second one.

And to be honest, that's the part I enjoy way more. If I'm truthful I enjoy playing Zorro more when he is not wearing the mask. The other part is just too tiring.
