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

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

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

I tried to find a character and how I would be an American actress in the 30s. But if this was a talking movie [The Artist], I'm sure she would be exactly the same for me.

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.

My parents were not pushy or anything like that. I think my mom was still expecting me to be an astronaut, but now she is very happy that I'm not doing that.

Sometimes we had to improvise. I hate to improvise because I felt like I couldn't find words.
