I'll do it for you. The class laughs, but there is no mistaking that beneath the humor in the teacher's tone, she is deadly serious. Such self-assuredness, however, has cost her. Zinoman's dealings with the directors she hires have been a particular flash point in the past. For example, disputes have erupted over the need to adhere to a rigid rehearsal schedule, which prescribes the delivery of an artistic product at a specific time and technical rehearsals in which stopping to make adjustments is not permitted.
Life's too short.
I'd rather not eat as well for a month than deal with that. With students and actors, Zinoman is said to be impatient when they can't or won't reach some emotional level that she wants to see. But she'll push you as a person as much as an actor. She's like a mirror that reflects your own demons back at you. It is a performance.
