In stand-up you can go either way. It's live. Somebody might say something in the crowd, you might respond to it. But in a movie you could be spontaneous too. But you pretty much have to stick to that story or that scene or that script, but in stand-up you can go wherever you want to. It's more freedom.
Chris TuckerI tell people that stand-up's like golf: you gotta do it every day to get it down - or at least three times a week to get it down.
Chris TuckerYou don't know who you messing with man, I slap people for fun. That's what I do man! You wanna play rough, huh, I kill for fun!
Chris TuckerI've been fortunate to work with good directors who understand improvisation and understand the way comedians work. Luke Basan let me do my thing like do what you feel and take the character to another level. Quentin Tarrantino was more of an acting coach. He can teach you beats and then hell say go with it but give this feeling. So I've been fortunate to work with good, seasoned directors.
