Caroline Corr Quotes

I love to improvise when it's appropriate and encouraged by a producer.

When you work with an actor and then you discover new things that are better, I think you gotta be free to be able to go with the new things that you're finding. I think that's very important. I have a strong idea when I go to shoot a movie but I also love to discover things when I'm on set as well.

I bring ideas to set, and I'm more than willing for those to be affected and be malleable based on what the other person gives me. I don't know what another actor is going to give me, on the day, and I don't want to be so hard and fast in my technique that I'm not open to what's coming.

When I do a take, I very often try things that I haven't planned to try to see if I can pull it off.

I like to improvise.

I think there are actors who are like, 'Okay, what am I doing, how am I doing it, what's the appeal? Tell me what to do, what are the exact lines from the script? Okay, I got it.' I am not that way. I would be a terrible bus driver. I'd want to be like, 'Oh, let's take this side road! Let's see what happens when we go down this back alley.'

The apparatus has to serve our improbability and improvisation. Being good and playing the songs is not enough.

You can't plan everything - if I did a performance exactly how I rehearsed it, it would be so boring.

I just find things that work and embellish them.

I'm not able to go in with an act that I use month to month year to year all the time. It's constantly evolving and changing and that keeps me on my toes but certainly adds to the challenge.

What I have to do as a musician is do everything that is not on the music.

There were no rules, other than that the song should sound good and be fun to play.

The essence of play is that the sequence of actions is fluid and scattered.

For me, the movie's always evolving as I'm doing it. I throw things in as we shoot, and I take things out as we go. I want to create a whole life and then select the pieces that best sort of describe it later, you know? So there's a lot of wastage when I make a film.

I can tell jokes. I can talk to the audience. I can relax. I can change my songs whenever I want. I can change the tempos. I can change the mood, because I'm in charge.

I try not to do anything by formula.

It's such a great thing to work with people and not have a plan.

I research every part thoroughly. I talk it out with my actor friends, but then I throw it all away when I get to the set. You have to be spontaneous.

With 'Friday Night Lights,' we were encouraged to make it our own and improvise as much as we wanted.

I like to reinvent with each project, in any which way possible.

I'm not a planner. I like to try something different, to just see what happens.

I'm a guy who likes to make it up as he goes along.

I like to improvise; I think it's just a healthy thing to do, to keep everything loose and fun.

I don't really have a routine. I make it up on the fly, or whatever feels right, I'll do.

I try new stuff every time I perform. I have steps I do that I know are definite, and stuff I can make up right then and there and then forget.
