“When you see a silent movie, you understand everything that's going on...” — Monica Bellucci Quote

When you see a silent movie, you understand everything that's going on from the images because the images are so strong.

If you have a script that's not great, if you have a great director, you can make a great movie, but if you have a great script with a director who's not good, never are you going to have a good movie.

Usually, I'm only sad when something sad happens. I am not a melancholic person. I like to live very much in the present. If I was an animal, I'd be a little cat. They like to live life.

I have no idea how I'm perceived in America because I don't live the reality of America.

Numerals are images of amounts. But the amounts they represent are real.

For a long time, images of black men with big lips and a round head were used to make us feel inferior, but it doesn't need to be like that, we don't need to self'loathe. We can change the narrative.

When you look at magazines, you feel so inadequate and so small and you feel really imperfect, when you're constantly seeing these images.

I've always been better at informing the audience through images than through words, but I took on a script that was so dialogue-intensive, that the words had to do all the informing.

I think unretouched images are even more beautiful.
