At the end of the day, I remain a country boy inside.

I dont know how to get bored. I need to learn to rest.

Everybody is not completely traumatised by their life.

Im an actor, full stop. Not an Arab actor. Not an actor of Algerian origin. Just an actor.

I knew Id have to go to Paris eventually, and I didnt want to be the provincial kid who just turns up and says, I want to act.

I sometimes feel that racism is getting worse.

I recall the first time my agent told me to wear clothes specifically chosen for me, I would try and find excuses not to do it.
