My work as an actor and a professor of acting helps me in my work with the actors. Being a director helps me in my work as a screenwriter, and being a screenwriter helps me in my work as an actor, professor and director. But above all, what I enjoy most is telling stories. No matter whether I'm in the Academy hall, on stage, in front of or behind the camera, telling stories is a great occupation. Imagine what mankind would be if there were no stories!
