I think being a foreigner and talking about Hollywood allowed me to use some cliches and some references that an American would maybe not use. ↗

I think we are at the very beginning of high changes, not only in terms of digital film, but in the way the movies will be screened, whether they'll be screened on phones, on computers - on everything. ↗

I thought 'The Artist' was a perfect way to find a good balance. The artistic challenge is obvious because the film is black-and-white and its silent, but I did my best to make the movie accessible and easy to watch. I really don't want to make elitist movies. I really try hard to work for the audience. Audiences are smart. They get everything. ↗

It's about storytelling. The story is told through images. So with the cast, I had to make sure that the emotions were readable without sound... I know some great actors, if you turn off the sound, you don't really know what they're saying. ↗

There's always been a struggle with filmmakers between art and industry, and you have to find a balance. ↗

I think of religion as something that stains the person. It's a mindset you can never get free from, it's always in the back of your head. ↗

This is the problem with language, and this is what makes silent movies fun, because the connection with them, me or the audience is not with the language. There's no question of interpretation of what we are saying it's just about feeling. You create your own story. ↗

So I became a producer because I knew one of the reasons was they didn't do them the way I thought was right. ↗
