Tahar Rahim

“Everybody is not completely traumatised by their life.”

“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.”

“It's not about 'succeeding,' but sometimes on a film, you know you've captured something.”

“I learned to walk on my own legs, to dive so deeply into a role to forget that I'm acting.”

“I don't know how to get bored. I need to learn to rest.”

“Thanks to 'A Prophet,' I'm known in a lot of countries.”

“I love fashion as an art; I love fashion as costume, as a character. I don't like dictates and the phoniness of appearance.”

“Movies don't have borders.”
