"I think itâ€™s very important to live in the present. One of the great things that improvising teaches you is the magic of the moment that youâ€™re in â€¦ because when you improvise youâ€™re in right now. Youâ€™re not in yesterday or tomorrowâ€”youâ€™re right in the moment. Being in that moment really gives you a perspective of life that you never get at any other time as far as learning about your egoâ€¦ You have to see your unimportance before you can see your importance and your significance to the world."

-- Charlie Haden
