I simply can't wear an outfit if I don't feel that is right for me.
From Tahar Rahim
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 love fashion as an art; I love fashion as costume, as a character. I don't like dictates and the phoniness of appearance.
At the end of the day, I remain a country boy inside.
We need prisons because there are some hardcore criminals, but I never met a guy who has been in jail that came out with a smile on his face thinking, 'Right, that's it - now I am going to be good!'
I sometimes feel that racism is getting worse.
If I don't love my character, I can't do it.
I like films to be pure cinema, but I also like them to provide a snapshot of a family, a society or a character - something that can nourish you as a human being as well as an actor.
I knew I'd have to go to Paris eventually, and I didn't want to be the provincial kid who just turns up and says, 'I want to act.'
I've always refused to play terrorists.
