It's nice to have some distance with your family. As long as you're closer to them by love.
Love is based on imagination.
I want just to be happy and peaceful. And that's not always the case when you're married.
I wanted to become a champ - I was surrounded by champs in my family and in my neighborhood - and because of this stupid accident, I lost my opportunity.
I was born and raised in a suburb of Paris by a working-class family.
I'm not a movie star like other actors in the way that I need to walk with a bodyguard.
If you want to be happy, live discreetly. Does that make sense in English?
Imagination creates some big monsters.
I see my friends, my family, my cousins work all day long for very little money, and if I have this problem of not being able to wall on the streets, it's not a big deal.
It's not only imagination, it's the distortion of the vision. You suddenly think, This person is idealistic, this person is strong, this person has dreams, when you know better most of the time. You put what you want to see on people.
If you compare me to an actor, I'm probably one of the best boxers in the profession. But if you compare me as a boxer, I'm probably one of the best actors.
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.
Otherwise, to be a movie star, it's a lot of compromise and also a lot of headaches. You can't do what you want. You become a prisoner of your fame. This happened to me in France and I don't want it.
People sometimes recognize me here, but they are very nice.
The big difference with Juliette and the others in that film is that she goes beyond acting.
