Besides, Mathematical Studies may serve for a pleasant Entertainment for those Hours which young Men are apt to throw away upon their Vices; the Delightfulness of them being such as to make Solitude not only easy, but desirable.

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.
