I read Gloria Swanson's autobiography just because I wanted to know what it was like in the time.

I'm okay. Nobody's bothering me. Everyone's very kind, and very polite. I don't feel like my whole life changed.

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.

People recognize me, I have scripts, and auditions. And I meet great people.

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.

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

I really enjoyed being Peppy Miller. She was an amazing character and her energy followed me everywhere. When I talk about her I want to be her again.
