Improvisation Quotes

My game is based on improvisation. Often, a forward does not have the time to think too much. You have a second, rarely more, to decide whether to dribble, shoot or pass to the right or left. It is instinct that gives the orders Picture Quote #1

My father was king of the guidebooks and our holidays were always planned, taking us from a great gallery to an ace cafe to a beautiful view. And as an actor, I loathe improvisation because there’s no structure and no one knows what’s going on Picture Quote #1

The apparatus has to serve our improbability and improvisation. Being good and playing the songs is not enough Picture Quote #1

Improvisation is empowering because it welcomes the unknown. And since what’s impossible is always unknown, it allows me to believe I can cheat the impossible Picture Quote #1

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

Improvisation in the jazz sense - like the business sense - is not formless. It is built on a skill set. Jazz, for example, involves selecting a tune Picture Quote #1

Improvisation is intuition in action, a way to discover the muse and learn to respond to her call Picture Quote #1

The way I write is, I listen to things in my head, and then I copy them down. I memorize conversations and things like that; I seem to be able to do that pretty well. I suppose in that respect there’s some improvisation, although I work over the stuff after I’ve got it down on paper Picture Quote #1

Much of what happens in Love Always is really from overheard conversations in the Russian Tea Room. It’s an improvisation of the way certain Hollywood agents think and talk to each other Picture Quote #1

Dancers work and they work and they work, and they master their skills so far that improvisation just comes flowing out of them. Their natural expression of the best they can possibly be comes out of them because there is no boundary to hold them back... That’s the mentality that I’m trying to create, recreate and hold on to forever Picture Quote #1

As I get older, I’m trying to accept improvisation into my day-to-day living Picture Quote #1

Sometimes it works, sometimes it fails, but that’s what we face when we’re dealing with improvisation Picture Quote #1

In some ways, jazz is the most precise of art forms and the loosest in the sense that it’s all about improvisation, but the musicianship required is kind of insane. To actually play with real jazz musicians is a different level of musicianship that almost has no equal in any other form of music in the world Picture Quote #1

Ever fresh the broad creation, A divine improvisation, From the heart of God proceeds, A single will, a million deeds Picture Quote #1

I was about 14 when I started with a theater group; it was like a stage group on the weekends alongside school. And it was run by a group of guys who’d been to drama school themselves in London. So they introduced us to techniques that they’d learn about, and they kind of informed us about improvisation and screenwriting and all of that stuff Picture Quote #1

Bebop and hip-hop, in so many ways, they’re connected. A lot of rappers remind me so much of bebop guys in terms of improvisation, beats and rhymes. My dream is to see hip-hop incorporated in education. You’ve got the youth of the world in the palm of your hand Picture Quote #1

I’m really keen to try things. I love improvisation. It’s quite exciting Picture Quote #1

Improvisation has to do with exploring something like two brothers in a room together. You find out things about situations by discovering the things that they aren’t saying. It’s a way to explore scenes. Sometimes it’s more useful than others, but it’s always there to see if there’s anything that you might improve Picture Quote #1

The genius of our country is improvisation, and jazz reflects that. It’s our great contribution to the arts Picture Quote #1

Mozart combines serenity, melancholy, and tragic intensity into one great lyric improvisation. Over it all hovers the greater spirit that is Mozart’s - the spirit of compassion, of universal love, even of suffering - a spirit that knows no age, that belongs to all ages Picture Quote #1

When I auditioned for drama college, they asked me to do my Shakespeare. I couldn’t do it. They asked me to do my modern, and I couldn’t do it. They asked me if I had a song prepared, and I said ‘No,’ so I sang ‘Happy Birthday.’ And I did a reasonable improvisation, a reasonable one, nothing special at all. I don’t know how I got in, but I did Picture Quote #1

I hated improvisation because in my early days as an actor, improvisation meant somebody had just come down from Oxford and they were doing a play above a pub in Kentish Town, and the biggest ego would win Picture Quote #1
