Curious your thoughts on Morgan Freeman's comments about writer directors...
"Too many of them get in the way. You get the title of ‘director’ and you start directing actors rather than directing the movie."
“I don’t like to be directed. The worst culprits are writers who direct their own material. Oh God.”
“When you arrive on set and the director goes, ‘Here’s my idea for this character,’ I go, ‘I’ll be right back!’ Or — and this was told to me by a really good director — he said, ‘Okay, here’s what I think your character is thinking at this moment. "You tell me what I’m thinking? I’ll tell you what I’m thinking. You figure out where to put the camera and the light.
"If you want me to go faster or to go slower, you can say that.”

Well, we think that every actor or even any professional on a film set has their process and approach to work, some actors might enjoy the director that says 'Here's my idea for this character" and some actors might not. What's most important in the end is that there is a conversation between both parties (Directors and Actors) to figure out a way to work and bring out the best possible product.
