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.

It's nice to have some distance with your family. As long as you're closer to them by love.

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

I like Brad Pitt; I just have nothing to do with him.

And what's more I've got no need for anyone to tell me how to do it. I am not interested. You act how you want to and leave me alone to do my own thing.

In Hollywood, you can live alongside very famous but still incredibly boring people. I've never wanted to be immortal. Even if nobody remembers me after my death, it's still okay with me.

Sometimes you have to laugh about what gets published; sometimes it's annoying, but in general I don't care.

Who knows what happens tomorrow? We'll find it tomorrow.

There are two smells that I can recognize right away. The smell of the boxing ring and the smell of a garage. That's where I grew up. I can recognize these places with my eyes closed.

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

I'll always be a foreigner.

My son will be an American, but I remain French.

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.

Every morning, I can lose myself just by looking at my son.

The first time Adrian saw me was on tape. But you should know that this never works - never in the history of movies has someone been cast from a video.

I don't have goals in life.

If you want to be happy, live discreetly. Does that make sense in English?

I quit after a bad car accident. The thing about boxing is that you can be a star for five or six years, but when you go back to the old life, it's tough.

In Hollywood, you can live alongside very famous but still incredibly boring people. I've never wanted to be immortal. Even if nobody remembers me after my death, it's still okay with me.
