Silence is also conversation.
Even silence speaks.
Silence is a universal language. It's like music or painting.
Where words are restrained, the eyes often talk a great deal.
Silence remains, inescapably, a form of speech.
To communicate through silence is a link between the thoughts of man.
It's kind of amazing how well you can get to know someone without talking.
Silence is argument carried out by other means.
That's when you know you really fit with someone - when you can just sit there and not do anything. Kind of ignoring each other.
My presence speaks volumes before I say a word.
I'm an instinctive actor. I just see the part and play it. I'm more interested in what isn't said - the silences.
What isn't said is as important as what is said.
The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said.
As much as movies are about the words that you're saying, they're also about what's not said, the silent moments.
He says a million things without saying a word. I have never heard a more eloquent silence.
I am spoken to not in words, which come to me quaint and veiled, but in signs, in conformations of face and hands, in postures of shoulders and feet, in nuances of tune and tone, in gaps and absences whose grammar has never been recorded.
There are times in life when language fails us, when everything that needs to be said can be expressed only by saying nothing at all.
Your internal dialogue has got to be different from what you say. And, you know, in film, hopefully that registers and speaks volumes. It's always the unspoken word and what's happening behind someone's eyes that makes it so rich.
Very often I've known people who wouldn't say a word to each other, but they'd go to see movies together and experience life that way.
You should communicate with your other one. Understanding what they are on about is pretty key.
Silence is the unbearable repartee.
Don't write anything you can phone. Don't phone anything you can talk. Don't talk anything you can whisper. Don't whisper anything you can smile. Don't smile anything you can nod. Don't nod anything you can wink.
I've never been a big fan of making telepathy to the audience. That would be too much a wink in the eye. That would make people around me fools, right?
In Chinese, there are an impressive number of ways to describe saying nothing at all.
It's what people don't say that is often the most revealing.
Everything in life is speaking in spite of it's apparent silence.
