I thought 'The Artist' was a perfect way to find a good balance. The artistic challenge is obvious because the film is black-and-white and its silent, but I did my best to make the movie accessible and easy to watch. I really don't want to make elitist movies. I really try hard to work for the audience. Audiences are smart. They get everything. ↗

There is a heroism in crime as well as in virtue. Vice and infamy have their altars and their religion. ↗

I've never directed before, so I need to make sure that people know that I can. The movie that I've written, 'The Sophisticates,' is a... small ensemble comedy and I hope it's charming and funny. ↗

As writers and readers, as sinners and citizens, our realism and our aesthetic sense make us wary of crediting the positive note. ↗
