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

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.

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 learned to walk on my own legs, to dive so deeply into a role to forget that Im acting.

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

I sometimes feel that racism is getting worse.
