00:00I went to see a mime show when light came up you saw this figure who created
00:09everything from nothing. I wanted to do that. Where does one learn that?
00:19Good morning. If you say to any Juilliard student Moni. Moni. Moni. Moni.
00:25Moni. There's this feeling of fear because so many students would walk out exhausted,
00:33dripping with sweat. They have been really tested. Oh my gosh get ready because Moni's
00:39going to kill you. Moni's going to kill you. Moni gave us the ability to allow ourselves
00:43to go as far as we wanted to go. I think what he taught me was how to physically be alive.
00:51I'm really alive. I'm one of the founders of the drama division. And the only one that's
01:02still teaching at Juilliard. It's difficult to talk about life because whatever happens
01:08is accidental. There is always something that happened that is unexpected and our entire
01:15life changes. I would like you to look at your total personality as if it were a jewel.
01:22Each facet is necessary to the structure of the polished stone if the full potential of
01:29the gem is to be revealed. I understood that there is a different type of life that would
01:36take me away from the street. The theatre was my personal secret like a temple.
01:49Like any great teacher's legacy, you're not in the spotlight. You prepared others for the spotlight.
01:59And there is the love and the evolution of his work and how he has given it to us.
02:08I love you. You're welcome.
