I'm an improviser at heart, when I'm writing, I'm improvising in my head. When you're an improviser on stage, you can never be precious about anything, you can't control what anyone else is going to do. The best stuff comes out of moments of inspiration that spontaneously happen.

I love when people improvise as long as they're great improvisers, what I mean by that is people can improvise within their characters and within the scene.
