Gene Wilder on working with Richard Pryor: "He said his first line, i said my first line. Then this other line comes out of him. I had no idea where it came from, but I didn't question it, I just responded naturally. I didn't try to think of a clever line, which is the great death trap for actors, if you're improvising. You think, 'I'll think of one that's even funnier than that." For stand- ups when you're doing crowd work, don't TRY to be funny. Just react naturally. It works.
