But when you work with the director and the real person who is playing opposite you, it changes everything. You are almost in a working session. I was very comfortable, and that’s maybe what helped me to get the part.

My father was champion of North Africa and he beat the European champ. He was very good, a professional for 12 years. We're from a big family of boxers. My father has seven brothers.

I never analyze why I was with one woman instead of another.

And I think it is the genius of actors to be able to escape whatever people are expecting of them. Otherwise you become like a factory worker.

Imagination creates some big monsters.

I'm not a movie star like other actors in the way that I need to walk with a bodyguard.

I always say I was born too late in the world, too old.
