Nothing affects my acting. Acting is something I do with my soul so it embodies a lot of things.

Acting is different from dance. The black-and-whiteness of dancing is mostly about the technical form - like, this is how people have been doing it for millions of years. You can't let down those ballerinas who died a long time ago. My teacher will say, "This person would be ashamed!" And it's like, oh God.

Acting became important. It became an art that belonged to the actor, not to the director or producer, or the man whose money had bought the studio.

But with Michael Chekhov, acting became more than a profession to me. It became a sort of religion.
