Olivier Martinez

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.

Just being famous feels cheap to me.

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

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

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

I'll always be a foreigner.

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

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.

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

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 have goals in life.

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.
