Quotes

  • Maybe one day I won't be allowed in America, because I'm French with Arabic origin, Muslim origin. Hopefully, some day I will work in America, even if Trump [Donald Trump] is there, because we have to fight for our values. [2016]
  • If you want something to change you have to speak up at the highest level. I think my speech in Cannes, or the Oscars So White, or [Patricia Arquette's] Oscar's speech - we have to speak up and put the clitoris on the table. [2016]
  • [on women] But we don't have to be polite. In the last century we fought for equal rights, now we have to fight to have equal power. [2016]
