 "Improvising is best left to those who really love it. Improvising itself is kind of fun, but the apprehension before the improv is not. I don`t think that fast; I can`t write that fast. Some people can look at a bunch of suggestions and can come up with a premise, but that was never my long suit."Trivia

He had studied the shows for a while and befriended an employee whom he asked about joining. She told him to show up after a performance one day in the afternoon, which he subsequently did. The stage area was littered with cigarette butts, when the woman handed him a broom and said "Welcome to the theater, kid."
