In a scene [where the improvisers must interact] without the letter S, the audience is waiting for you to lose - so they can laugh at you. Don't try to win.

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

Every theatre worth anything has somebody in the middle of it who is driving it; like Joan Littlewood with her theatre.

None of us really grow up. All we ever do is learn how to behave in public.

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.

The best laughs are on the recognition of truth.

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