When I'm on stage, it's a little world I've created where I'm sort of the thing, so I have total control over everything that happens. When we're improvising, I'm with someone I totally trust. I know things are going to work out. I don't have those guarantees in life. There are no consequences on stage.

  • -- Colin Mochrie 莫克里

当我在舞台上的时候,我创造了一个小世界,在那里我是某种东西,所以我可以完全控制发生的一切。当我们即兴表演时,我和一个我完全信任的人在一起。我知道事情会有结果的。我在生活中没有这些保证。在舞台上没有任何后果。
