Actors talking about crying
Whether talking about movies that make them cry, or how they prepare for an emotional scene, it's all fascinating. Here's a couple videos from various actors, mostly about movies that make them cry. Brief but interesting.
Colin Firth, starts at 3:20
Brad Pitt
Benedict Cumberbatch
Julianne Moore at 30 secs
Anyone have any more like this? Videos, articles, what have you.

Re: Actors talking about crying
Good stuff, I do find it interesting, both people in general admitting to what has triggered them, and actors revealing what their tricks are for performances.

Re: Actors talking about crying
I don't have any specific articles or videos to share right now but I do remember a brief snippet of what was presumably an interview with Audrey Hepburn in which she described at one point being unable to give a convincing performance and subsequently being called off set and slapped hard across the face by the director in order to make her cry.

Here's Ralph Fiennes' (adorable) segment from the same series! (The part about crying begins at 0:50.)

Interesting, Ella.
Totally unrelated to crying, I know, but...doesn't Colin Firth have such a wonderful smile in the video above?

Re: Actors talking about crying
"...men do not cry. They will do anything BUT cry. They stop themselves crying. And eventually they do cry if it is bad enough. So that's how you know with a man how bad it is for him. Because he would've stopped himself...Men always cry like that. They don't cry and in the end they do and if they do then it's overwhelming." ~Michael Caine
