In life most of us are highly skilled at suppressing action. Bad improvisers block action often with a high degree of skill. Good improvisers develop action.

Keith Johnstone

There's good action stars. I'm a bad-guy action star. What disappoints me is when you all of a sudden you get a good action star and then he wants to play a comedy with kids, you know? That upsets me, and that's not being true to your fans.

Vinnie Jones

Then, if action is possible or necessary, you take action or rather right action happens through you. Right action is action that is appropriate to the whole. When the action is accomplished, the alert, spacious stillness remains.

Eckhart Tolle

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

Jonathan Tropper

John Hughes loved improvisers.

Edie McClurg

If there's anything I hate more than a stupid action comedy, it's an incompetent stupid action comedy. It's not so bad it's good. It's so bad it's nothing else but bad.

Roger Ebert

There is no fate that plans men's lives. Whatever comes to us, good or bad, is usually the result of our own action or lack of action.

Herbert Newton Casson

Good improvisers seem telepathic; everything looks pre-arranged, This is because they accept all offers made—which is something no ‘normal’ person would do.

Keith Johnstone

Instead of looking on discussion as a stumbling block in the way of action, we think it an indispensable preliminary to any wise action at all.

Pericles

People avoid action. Often because they are afraid of the consequences, for action means risk and danger. Danger seems terrible from a distance; it is not so bad if you have a close look at it

Jawaharlal Nehru

As improvisers, we're acting as composers in front of people.

Kurt Elling

A person is praiseworthy for a right action to the extent that her action manifests, and is rationalized by, good will, that is, concern for the right and the good, not necessarily under the description "right" or "good". A person is blameworthy for a wrong action to the extent that her action manifests, and is rationalized by, ill will - concern for the wrong and bad, also de re - or moral indifference - lack or deficiency of good will.

Nomy Arpaly

Great improvisers are like priests... they are thinking only of their God

Stephane Grappelli

When hiring, mix Harvard Nerds with Chicago Improvisers and stir.

Tina Fey

I'm always in awe of improvisers that make something out of complete nothing.

Kathryn Hahn

There's good art and there's bad art. A lot of action films are bad art, but Paul Greengrass showed us with the Bourne films that it's possible to make an action film with a political, social conscience.

Joe Wright
