If people had no fear, you'd hardly need to have to teach them. It's the fear that screws everything up.

I don't even think you should tell the audience you're improvising. It's like an apology in case it's bad : 'we're just making it up' If the improv isn't better than the rehearsed stuff, then you should just rehearse it.

Every time you go the way the audience expects, they'll think you're original. People laugh with pleasure at the obvious.

Good impro can make you laugh, we love it, but soon the content is forgotten. Good scenes from The Life Game stay with you always. They haunt you.

Imagination is as effortless as perception, unless we think it might be ‘wrong’, which is what our education encourages us to believe.

Wherever you go it's the same fear. And the same protective devices. There is one big error I think and partly my fault which is that a lot of things are taught to beginners which you can cast off later on.
