The script is a starting point, not a fixed highway. I must look through the camera to see if what I've written on the page is right or not.

Often, an actor viewed against a wall or a landscape, or seen through a window, is much more eloquent than the lines you've given him. So then you take out the lines. This happens often to me and I end up saying what I want with a movement or a gesture.
