Trying to do better is trying to be better than you actually are, and I don't think you can do that.
Keith JohnstoneI 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.
Keith JohnstoneVery hard to get an audience. So if you're going to fill the theatre, you can't just rely on old stuff.
Keith JohnstoneAs I grew up, everything started getting grey and dull. I could still remember the amazing intensity of the world I'd lived in as a child, but I thought the dulling of perception was an inevitable consequence of age - just as a lens of the eye is bound gradually to dim. I didn't understand that clarity is in the mind.
