I don't feel any need to play the role of the clown. In my private life I take a break from humor.

Journalists ask me, 'Why don't you ever talk about sex in your performances?' True, I don't talk about sex - not in my personal life and not in my professional life. This is modesty.

I like to keep my private life private.

Celebrity damages private life.

Morocco is completely alive for me because I spent about a third of my life there. The first few times I went back to Casablanca, I walked through the streets and remembered how years earlier I had walked those same streets and prayed that a miracle would happen and I would leave and become famous.

It is natural for me not to explain my private life or to answer any questions about my private life.
