I love improvisation. It's quite exciting.

I've always been into improvisation.

When you're doing stand-up, you want to stand onstage and, to the extent that you can, uncomplicatedly entertain.

I definitely am a performer, and there are different styles of stand-up; I mean, some people are writers and they get onstage to get jokes out, and that's definitely not what I do. I like to just go up and, if I'm telling a story about someone, I'll play his or her part.

Stand-up will always come first. I've been doing it for 22 years, and nothing compares to that connection you have with the audience. It's euphoric.

What all my years in improvisation taught is that - if you're going to grow as a performer - you have to try some new things. You've got to be willing to take a few risks.

There's always some room for improvisation.

Improvisation is not a presentational form, except in small doses, or as a game. It's a tool.
