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.
From Olivier Martinez
I'm not a movie star like other actors in the way that I need to walk with a bodyguard.
It's nice to have some distance with your family. As long as you're closer to them by love.
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.
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 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.
I don't want to dig in the truth all of the time. Let me dream.
Imagination creates some big monsters.
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.
