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.

The best laughs are on the recognition of truth.

As 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.

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

If people had no fear, you'd hardly need to have to teach them. It's the fear that screws everything up.

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

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