I love improv so much. Listening. I think that's the key. When you improvise, you put a lot of pressure on yourself to create, and to be generating information, and trying to be funny, but if you just listen to what's being said to you, and then react honestly, you generally get better results.

I want to be an improviser, and I've worked very hard at that. It's an art. You don't just play whatever comes into your head; you have to be very deliberate about what you do.

With improv, it's a combination of listening and not trying to be funny.

I'm convinced to do improv. All you have to do is listen to what people are saying to you, and then just add more information to what they've just said. That's all there is to improv, but it's the hardest thing to do.

What I think improv is great for is making dialogue more natural.

Improvising is wonderful. But, the thing is that you cannot improvise unless you know exactly what you're doing. That's a kind of paradoxical thing about improvising.

I can't imagine doing anything without being an improviser. I can't imagine trying to write or act or direct without what improvising offers you.

You have to know composition to be a good improviser.

The thing about improvisation is that it's not about what you say. It's listening to what other people say. It's about what you hear.

I love improvising.
