French People Are Strange About America, I

But I Don't Think Of Myself As A Foreigner Or A Frenchman! I Just Think Of Myself As A Director. Whether I'm French Or Australian Or Whatever, It's Really Not Important.

Actually, I Met A Lot Of Directors And Most Of Them Have That Fantasy To Make A Silent Movie Because For Directors It's The Purest Way To Tell A Story. It's About Creating Images That Tell A Story And You Don't Need Dialogue For That.

I Think The Writer Is Always The Creator, Because He's Starting With Nothing, But The Actor Comes In And Gives Flesh And Blood.

When You're With Your Wife, You Don't Say I Love You To Your Wife Every Day But The Ways You Look At Her And Your Actions Are Another Way To Communicate. Don't Focus On Dialogue, Only Focus On What You're Expressing.

I Think Hollywood Is Cleverer Than You Think. I'm Not Sure They Will Do It. I Don't Think So, But Maybe I'm Wrong. When We Were Doing The Preparation Of The Movie, We Didn't Have All The Money So We Were Looking For All The Solutions Possible, And 3d Was One Option.
