More quotes by Olivier Martinez
But what I really like are old Hollywood movies. Very often I watch AMC.

Olivier Martinez
I really believe great actors, even with disease and age, can be great.
Olivier Martinez
An actor cannot say no, it’s against his job. If he wants the part he has to say yes. [But] it’s very bad for you to say you can do something and then not do it, so you have to manage to do it.
Olivier Martinez
People sometimes recognize me here, but they are very nice.
Olivier Martinez
But when you work with the director and the real person who is playing opposite you, it changes everything. You are almost in a working session. I was very comfortable, and that’s maybe what helped me to get the part.
Olivier Martinez

Olivier Martinez
