When you see a silent movie, you understand everything that's going on from the images because the images are so strong.

If you have a script that's not great, if you have a great director, you can make a great movie, but if you have a great script with a director who's not good, never are you going to have a good movie.

I would've been a really big silent movie star.

When you're in front of the camera, for a small budget or a big budget movie, there's no difference.

When I make an American movie it's going to come out all over the world-it doesn't happen the same way for an Italian film or a French film.

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.
