I love movies that make me cry, because they're tapping into a real emotion in me, and I always think afterwards: how did they do that?
In all the great periods of the drama perfect freedom of choice and subject, perfect freedom of individual treatment, and an audience eager to give itself to sympathetic listening, even if instruction be involved, have brought the great results.
I believe the director's primary role is to create an atmosphere where his company can be created.
