I didn't know if I could make a good movie. But I knew I could make a respectful one.

If I start thinking, 'Is this movie going to open? Is this movie going to do well?' I'm not focusing on the job. The job is to make a good movie.

I'm not an American actor. I'm a French actor. I'll continue in France. If I could make another silent movie in America, I'd like to!

You know that saying, 'You broke it, you bought it'? With horses, if you don't make sure it's a good fit... they tend to break you.

It's possible for me to make a bad movie out of a good script, but I can't make a good movie from a bad script.

If it's a good movie, the sound could go off and the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on.
