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

The best laughs are on the recognition of truth.

I left my theatre the Loose Moose almost twenty years ago, and I hardly ever go back. Sometimes I go back to do a Mask class. They're doing more of this than I was doing when I left. Often it's the same improvisers but they're older. And now, they don't care if the theatre's full or not.

The improvisation had to be in public, because you only get value playing to strangers.

Where if you're in a universe where you have to accept ideas, you'll never know if your partner wanted the garbage you're handing them. They have to take it.

When you want to have entertainment, it must be a waste of time. I don't like that. I don't like improvisation being pointless.

Most people I meet are secretly convinced that they’re a little crazier than the average person. People understand the energy necessary to maintain their own shields, but not the energy expended by other people. They understand that their own sanity is a performance, but when confronted by other people they confuse the person with the role.
