Quote: Improvisation starts somewhere
You can’t improvise on nothing, man; you’ve gotta improvise on something.
Jazz great Charles Mingus as quoted in Group Genius: The Creative Power of Collaboration (by Keith Sawyer, 2008)

“Improv actors are taught to be specific,” Sawyer says. “Rather than say, ‘Look out, it’s a gun!’ you should say, ‘Look out, it’s the new ZX-23 laser kill device!’ Instead of asking, ‘What’s your problem?’ say, ‘Don’t tell me you’re still pissed off about that time I dropped your necklace in the toilet.’” The paradox is that while specificity narrows the number of paths that the improv could take, it makes it easier for the other actors to come up with the next riff.
UNDER-COMMIT: Only do what’s really motivating. Produce excellently. Seize new opportunities. Have time to think. Enjoy lots of family time.
