I think my brain is much more intelligent than I am...so I tend to trust it.

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.

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

Very hard to get an audience. So if you're going to fill the theatre, you can't just rely on old stuff.

I mean, in the foreword to Impro in Denmark is by Søren Iversen, who I taught long ago, he was a Danish director, after he left. He said he'd read about [Eugeny] Vakhtangov. I'm a fan of his. When he heard that Vakhtangov had lots of tricks, he thought this was very bad. But when he came to be my student, he realised it was very good to have a lot of tricks. You saw some this morning.

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

My feeling is the moment the theatre is not full you have to do something else. But most people somehow think 'If we did it better, they would come'. No. They don't come.
