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.

Improvisation is terribly haphazard.

There's always some room for improvisation.

I think improvisation is a technique and a tool. I think that even the best of them fail most of the time, and in the end, the audience is not interested in how you got there but in what you're saying. The more clearly and concisely and artistically you say it, the more effective it is.

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

Improvisation is almost like the retarded cousin in the comedy world. We've been trying forever to get improvisation on TV. It's just like stand-up. It's best when it's just left alone. It doesn't translate always on TV. It's best live.

The rule of improvisation I took to heart was, 'Don't think.' I tend to over-think things, so that was a big lesson for me.
