The difference between the extras here and in France is the French extras read books. Actually, they hide the book and pretend that they're acting. Here (in Hollywood), you can see everybody wants his break.

Ever since the movie premiered at Cannes, I've had a sudden surge of scripts and interest.

I guess I'm the perfect young lead actress. I'm not Chloe Sevigny - I'm not really a character actress. Some actors have "character" faces.

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.

Even in the very beginning when she would bump into George Valentine and people would start taking pictures of her, she never thought "I'm with George Valentine. I need to get a picture with him." She's like "oh that's funny. Everyone's taking pictures!"

I think the approach of the character for us is the same in a silent movie as in a talking movie because we had balance, we had lines to learn.

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.
