Comedy in America is very serious. Either they laugh, or they don't.

I like to do comedy. It's my real passion. I want to make people laugh.

My dream is not Hollywood, but to perform my act in English to 30 people in a Soho comedy club, to show New Yorkers what they look like from the French point of view.

When you succeed, at a certain point, you want to challenge yourself. Otherwise, you become boring. You become a has-been. It's not very interesting. I don't want to be this guy who has only succeeded in France. I could say, 'O.K., that's it; merci.' But I'm not interested in that.

I go to New York to see live shows, not movies.

Actually, I don't like dogs. I'm from Morocco, and people there don't like animals.
