“I can't force people to agree with me.” — Michel Hazanavicius

When you write a script that you've felt in your soul for a long time, you can't ask the actors to go through the same emotions. You have to do part of the job to make things as easy as possible for them.

I watched a lot of silent movies. It's a very specific way of writing, which is more of a challenge than the directing. You have to describe images. It's easier to shoot them.

'Avatar' is a great movie. I really love it.

You - as a director, you have to do your job, you have to show things, and you don't have to ask the actors to do it, or the dialogue.
