Robert deniro, who may be the greatest living actor, usually acts in a way which is very stone-faced, like steve mcqueen. for example, steve mcqueen, if you cut the sound, you don't know what he's acting really. he gives to the lines, to the text, something very special, and he's very good. he was a great actor. but, to do a silent movie, you have to have more expressive actors.

More From Michel Hazanavicius

I got to work with robert deniro once and it was a strange experience. gwyneth paltrow and i were doing great expectations movie together and we were complaining about what a mediocre film experience it was. deniro showed up on set and all of a sudden the director got better, the director of photography got better - everybody got more interested and excited. deniro isn't waiting for other people to create the environment that he wants, he brings it along with him.
Photography People Expectations
Every thing thinks, but according to its complexity. if this is so, then stones also think...and this stone thinks only i stone, i stone, i stone. but perhaps it cannot even say i. it thinks: stone, stone, stone... god enjoys being all, as this stone enjoys being almost nothing, but since it knows no other way of being, it is pleased with its own way, eternally satisfied with itself.
Thinking Stones Way
Once committed to fight, cut. everything else is secondary. cut. that is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. there is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. cut. cut from the void, not from bewilderment. cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. cut decisively, resolutely. cut into the enemy’s strength. flow through the gaps in his guard. cut him. cut him down utterly. don’t allow him a breath. crush him. cut him without mercy to the depths of his spirit." -richard rahl
Crush Commitment Fighting
I remember staying up all night waiting to see the first screening of cape fear because you knew that every time robert deniro had a performance it was going to be revelatory. then deniro hit this place, he seemed like he was done with the emotional cost of impaling himself like that, and he dedicated himself to comedy.
Night Emotional Waiting
First of all, i had the desire for that format [silent movie], and then when i was talking to people, i felt that people needed justification. why are you doing a silent movie? is it just for your own pleasure? i felt it was not enough for them so i realized i have to choose the subject that will make things easier for them and to tell the story of a silent actor makes sense for doing a silent movie.
Talking People Desire
I’ve never agreed with the conventional wisdom that ‘actors are great liars.’ if more people understood the acting process, the goals of good actors, the conventional wisdom would be ‘actors are terrible liars,’ because only bad actors lie on the job. the good ones hate fakery and avoid manufactured emotion at all costs. any script is enough of a lie anyway. (what experience does any actor have with flying a spacecraft? killing someone?) what’s called for, what actors are hired for, is to bring reality to the arbitrary.

Similar Quotes
Most creativity is a transition from one context into another where things are more surprising. there’s an element of surprise, and especially in science, there is often laughter that goes along with the "aha." art also has this element. our job is to remind us that there are more contexts than the one that we’re in - the one that we think is reality.
Art Jobs Laughter
In my first few years as an actor, i took one terrible tv job after another. but even as i laughed off my awful roles and made fun of myself to friends, my work made me cringe - i dreaded anyone's seeing it. i was crushed that i wasn't doing anything i was proud of.
Jobs Fun Years
Never criticize, unless you can do a better job.

A boy has two jobs. one is just being a boy. the other is growing up to be a man.
