What i don't like is when i see stuff that i know has had a lot of improv done or is playing around where there's no purpose to the scene other than to just be funny. what you don't want is funny scene, funny scene, funny scene, and now here's the epiphany scene and then the movie's over.

Ladies like improv stilts, and i think men like improv giant cocks. but one of the great things about improv is that you get to play some roles you'd never get to play otherwise, you know, like the old italian pizza-maker who's passing on the business down to his son. you get to play it all when you improvise.

I think in the inception and creation of the characters, improv was the most important part for me, because i wanted to feel at home in those characters. i wanted to feel like i could commit to them. and so much of improv is saying yes and committing, so i think that's where the improv came in. even if i'm saying yes to the x across the room from me, or the tennis ball on a stick, i have to stay alive.

Practice your improv more than learn your lines. 'cause there's no way you'll be able to learn all those lines in a short time. you have to realize what you know and what you don't know - and what you don't know, just come up with three alternate lines or improv that you can put in that spot.

I love improv-ing, you know, from very early on when i started acting the school that i went to and everything was very big on ad-libbing and improv-ing and messing things up, so i feel very comfortable doing stuff like that.

I love performing. i love doing improv. it's a totally terrifying experience, but it's something that i've always felt so strongly about and that i'm kind of obsessed with. and just as an actor, it's a great exercise. it's a great playground, you know, to try things out and to work on your skills. because the mandate of improv is kind of the same as acting: it's all about your scene partner, it's all about being present and in the moment and exploring together as a team, a collaboration.

I was working in the same building as u.s. news & world report, and i banged on the door and said, "i'm ready to go." and they said, "what's your combat experience?" i said, "does my parents' divorce count? it was pretty rough." then they said, "what's your reporting experience?" and i said, "i covered the women's volleyball team in college exceptionally well." the guy was like, "you are so not ready to be a war correspondent."
