In a normal education everything is designed to suppress spontaneity, but I wanted to develop it.

Many teachers think of children as immature adults. It might lead to better and more 'respectful' teaching, if we thought of adults as atrophied children.

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.

The problem's always been to deal with the fear.Cos the fear is pretty . . . it ruins everybody really.

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

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.
