dream people fiction
In France, it's always about life, normal life. We always stick with these realistic things. So when French people are dreaming about American movies, they go and see the thrillers, and Westerns, and science fiction, huge entertaining movies.
thinking actors cry
As an actor, you think you have to go really far and deep and cry and yell to be good in a scene. Sometimes that's not the point.
character white black
A character is never entirely white or black, there's never entirely right or wrong. You have to realize sometimes you face something, and then you change your mind, or then you realize you were wrong.
character trying doe
Of course, when you work on a character, you try to understand her. You feel that everything she does has a reason.
autobiography gloria wanted
I read Gloria Swanson's autobiography just because I wanted to know what it was like in the time.

Right now I'm the most famous silent movie actress in the world and I want to keep that for me. So I hope there's not going to be any other silent movies.

hands body rooms
I spent hours on the internet looking at how glamorous actresses winked and how they would put their hand on their waist, and I was told to look at how they would walk in a room and how her body takes place of everything
character artist talking

cute different flappers
I connected very much with all the work of Joan Crawford because she started as a flapper. She used to dance and sing and she was very cute. She had something that was so different from what she is at the end of her life and she started in the silent movies and then went into the talkies
