“As an actor, I trust my ear.” — Christopher Guest Quote

As an actor, I trust my ear.

There are dozens and dozens of improv classes across the nation, but it really cannot be taught.

The truth of it is that people are not going to want to go to improvisational theater if it's not funny. You can succeed in doing all the things you're supposed to do - be truthful to scene - and if it's not funny, I'm telling you that no one's gonna care.

I don't know anyone who's ever taken a bus. It's a mysterious form of transportation.

I would make a huge distinction between theater improvisation and film improvisation.

The eye is a very quick instrument, much quicker than the ear. The eye gets it immediately.

I started playing in the band and learned to play piano by ear.

I think, at the end of the day, when you hear the same voice all the time, it goes in one ear and out the other when you're a player.

Well, Steve Vai joined my dad's band right around the time when I actually started playing guitar. So he gave me a couple of lessons on fundamentals, and gave me some scales and practice things to work on. But I pretty much learned everything by ear.
