Good improvisers seem telepathic; everything looks pre-arranged, This is because they accept all offers made—which is something no ‘normal’ person would do.

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.

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.

There are people who prefer to say ‘Yes’, and there are people who prefer to say ‘No’. Those who say ‘Yes’ are rewarded by the adventures they have, and those who say ‘No’ are rewarded by the safety they attain.

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

Light entertainment means it mustn't teach you anything.

Trying to do better is trying to be better than you actually are, and I don't think you can do that.
