I love improvisation. You can't blame it on the writers. You can't blame it on direction. You can't blame it on the camera guy... It's you. You're on. You've got to do it, and you either sink or swim with what you've got. Jonathan Winters blamecameradirection share on social
You've got to be an observer. And you've got to take time to listen to people, talk, to watch what they do. Jonathan Winters havelistenobserver Change image and share on social

Well, the most terrible fear that anybody should have is not war, is not a disease, not cancer or heart problems or food poisoning - it's a man or a woman without a sense of humor. Jonathan Winters cancerdiseasefear Change image and share on social
I began painting well before I started doing comedy. In fact, when I came out of the war in 1946, I enrolled in art school in Dayton, Ohio. I painted for three years, and then show business took hold. Jonathan Winters artbeginbusiness Change image and share on social
Something I'll always remember - when I was a kid, I shook hands with Orville Wright. Forty years later, I shook hands with Neil Armstrong. The guy that invented the airplane and the guy that walked on the moon. In a lifetime, that's kinda wild when you think about it. Jonathan Winters airplanearmstrongforty share on social

I was always an observer, even as a child. I could be satisfied to sit in a car for 3 hours and just look at the street go by while my mother went shopping. Jonathan Winters carchildhour Change image and share on social
My paintings and comedy have a lot in common. They are both improvisations based on observation. Jonathan Winters basecomedycommon Change image and share on social
