As someone working in film I think that quote is quite good. Director is hugely important, but it really is about the team. Good director picks the players and aligns everyone, but it takes lot of people to come up with the creative decisions and solve all the aspects of the film.
Director is constrained by the input of the team and resources of the budget etc. those are the compromises which make the art.
