“Well you improvise with some people better than with others… [Mike Nicholls and I] had the same kind of playfulness. We enjoy the same kind of pretend. As kids do. You know. If he had come and said: ‘I’m a doctor, are you sick?’ I would have said, if I was kid: ‘I don’t feel good’. Because I wouldn’t have said: ‘Whaddya mean?’ I would have known what he was doing. We were very childish for our age.”
