Imagination creates some big monsters.

I don't feel restricted by the language: I feel more free.

I really believe great actors, even with disease and age, can be great.

But what I really like are old Hollywood movies. Very often I watch AMC.

And I think it is the genius of actors to be able to escape whatever people are expecting of them. Otherwise you become like a factory worker.

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

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.

But when you work with the director and the real person who is playing opposite you, it changes everything. You are almost in a working session. I was very comfortable, and that's maybe what helped me to get the part.

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.

Imagination creates some big monsters.

Also, I have found that I really like to work in English. It's very strange because it's exactly the opposite of what I thought it would be like.

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.

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

I'll always be a foreigner.

I don't have goals in life.

People sometimes recognize me here, but they are very nice.

I want just to be happy and peaceful. And that's not always the case when you're married.

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.

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.

Before, I was so stupid. But, you know, when you have friends who died on the street, you say, okay, let's calm down. It's not the kind of energy I want to have in life. I want to go slower, and longer.

I was born and raised in a suburb of Paris by a working-class family.

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.

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.

It's like all the signs were telling me that I shouldn't be a boxer, so I quit.

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

Love is based on imagination.

I played a scene at the end of my first year, and that's how I was discovered.

I don't want to dig in the truth all of the time. Let me dream.

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.

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.

The big difference with Juliette and the others in that film is that she goes beyond acting.

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

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.

I never analyze why I was with one woman instead of another.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

For someone who writes fiction, in order to activate the imagination and the unconscious, it's essential to be free.

The most dire disaster in love is the death of imagination.

We especially need imagination in science.

There is only one admirable form of the imagination: the imagination that is so intense that it creates a new reality, that it makes things happen.

He is indebted to his memory for his jests and to his imagination for his facts.

It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.

Politics is the enemy of the imagination.

Happiness is ideal, it is the work of the imagination.

Memories, imagination, old sentiments, and associations are more readily reached through the sense of smell than through any other channel.

You want to do something that shows some type individuality and talent and imagination - at the same time, you want to be truthful to the predecessors, because obviously the audience liked something about them and you have to replicate that experience to a certain extent.

To them though, not to us, we were just a catalyst for their imagination.

In this drawing we just let our imagination run wild. We visualized Superman toys, games, and a radio show - that was before TV - and Superman movies. We even visualized Superman billboards. And it's all come true.

To put yourself in another's place requires real imagination, but by doing so each Girl Scout will be able to love among others happily.
