Here are some improv quotes. They might also help with life.

1. Today’s the day, right now’s the time, something wonderful happens.
2. Your prime responsibility is to support.
3. Listen like a thief, play like a paranoid and notice everything, make everything a big deal.
4. There are people who prefer to say “Yes,” and there are people who prefer to say “No.” Those who say “Yes” are rewarded by the adventures they have, and those who say “No” are rewarded by the safety they attain.
5. There are no mistakes, only gifts and happy accidents.
6. If you think you have to do well, you will have fear.
7. You can basically get away with anything onstage as long as you are a pleasure to watch.
8. If everyone justifies everyone else’s actions, there are no mistakes.
9. Improv takes place in the present tense.
10. If you're vulnerable as an actor you steer the character's vulnerability. You'll see the emotional turns clearer, which means you'll make the scene changes that keep the scene alive, instead of holding onto your character's need to be right, or seen as smart, or seen as sexy, or seen as brave, or seen as interesting, or seen as wise, etc. Epiphanies and revelations occur because we're open to them, not because we're holding onto past issues and emotions that no longer guide the scene. Your feelings have changed, so you are now in relationship to those new feelings. YOU, not your character. Keep in mind your character wants everything to be AOK all the time. That's why we watch a scene, to see the character struggle with their past and a new present "truth." Surrender and your scene will certainly move into a new direction because you're not dealing with stale "emotional information."
11. The audience laughs at agreement – a secret of comedy that very few people realize.
12. React honestly and truthfully.
13. Next time you’re up on stage, try this: When you start panicking, stop and wait in the silence, then look for the emotion in the scene that’s already there. You’ll find you have great stuff to work with.
14. Listening is not merely hearing. Listening is reacting. Listening is being affected by what you hear. Listening is active.
15. Enjoy things even when you’re screwing up.
16. Status is what you do to someone, not what you are.
17. Experienced performers learn that their dialog isn’t about their activity. Instead, the lines should be saved for the relationship with the other player.
18. The less stuff there is on stage the more verbal it gets.
