'No words - action' was the lesson my mother taught me: as artists, we have the privilege of holding a mirror to the world, to engage, to question, to bring beauty to a complex universe.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Words mean nothing. Action is the only thing. Doing. That's the only thing.
When I start to write, words have become physical presence. It was to see if I could bring that private world to life that found its first expression through reading. I really dislike the romantic notion of the artist.
I think of painting without subject matter as music without words.
So, not for lack of love of language, but because I feel our language is in an enormous state of humiliation, I decided to make films without words.
When deeds speak, words are nothing.
There's a power in what we hold as artists, and part of that comes with responsibility... to share the human experience and really allow that to be seen.
I think, like any artist or any writer, I just want to have that pure freedom of expression and of thought - the freedom to explore and move in unexpected ways.
Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.
I understand why people went nuts for 'The Artist.' We use words so much, it's nice to be able to explore a different way of communication, to be able to express silently what someone - or something - is thinking or feeling.
Speech is the mirror of action.
