“There is no art without order. There is no art without structure. Art is not the moment of free expression—anybody can do that. That’s just masturbation and free association and therapeutic purging. There’s no art in that. Where the art comes in is in the control, in taking this material that could spew off in any direction and imposing on it, or discovering within it or revealing, the inner order of this seemingly random, disordered, or unordered behavior.”

— Del Close in “Del Close on the Method behind the Mad Art of Improvisation”
