I love improvisation. You can’t blame it on the writers. You can’t blame it on direction. You can’t blame it on the camera guy... It’s you. You’re on. You’ve got to do it, and you either sink or swim with what you’ve got Picture Quote #1

Rarely is it possible to study all of the instructions to a game before beginning to play, or to memorize the manual before turning on the computer.
