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.

As an actor I’m part of a long line of character people you can take back to the silent movies.
The man as he converses is the lover; silent, he is the husband.

I have never seen opponents so silent about their record, and so desperate to keep their power.
In most of his films, Upendra has a harsh and rough demeanor, and Sudeep also has a very massy commercial image. In ‘Mukunda Murari,’ though, their characters require them to be very different and near silent.

While doing centering prayer, the practice is to let go of any thought or perception. The priority is to be as silent as possible and when that is not possible to let the noise of the thoughts be the sacred symbol for a while, without analyzing them.
Silent films were, I think, more different than we know to sound films. We think of it as simply that we added dialogue and in actual fact I think it was an entirely different art form.
I actually don’t think there is machismo in America, unless it’s the cowboy type – the silent, smoking brooder.
I try to respect the rules of the silent movies and I tried to make signification to make sense, and also the crew were very good and the fact that we shot in LA in the real Hollywood, studios and houses.

I work every day. I write every day. I walk around in silent conversation with my latest unfinished songs.
The less lines, the better. I am the silent film actor, but not in a slapstick sort of way. Film is an image-based medium, so whatever you can say without the words is far more provocative and punctuating. If the lines are not funny or if they don’t advance the story, sometimes it’s hard. I hate talk in movies.

The deeper the blue becomes, the more strongly it calls man towards the infinite, awakening in him a desire for the pure and, finally, for the supernatural… The brighter it becomes, the more it loses its sound, until it turns into silent stillness and becomes white.
If the guardians of society, the protectors of ‘young persons,’ could have had their way, we should have known nothing of Byron or Shelley. The voices that thrill the world would now be silent.
I wrote ‘Time of the Dark’ in 1978 and ‘The Silent Tower’ in 1984, so the thing that sticks out for me is how totally technology has changed. I suppose that’s the great peril for real-world crossovers.
