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

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

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.

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

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

To work on the actual location I think is great. This thing of going to Canada and pretending you're in New York, it's terrible.

The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemies.

One of the principles of journalism is you don't lie. You never lie.

Today my winged horse is coming and I am carrying you off to the moon and on the moon we will eat rose petals.
