Being able to improvise is the basis for creating all characters and situations, for everything to do with performing, really. And it's good therapy as well.
Instead of taking a very high-paying type of law job or something that I might be able to do, I have been a legislator. That's what I do. I think it's an honorable profession - if you're honest and have integrity and work hard.
Sometimes I can spend as long revising a manuscript as I spent writing it in the first place.
