Quotes by Susan Morrison  (?)

“If you’re always afraid that life can devolve into chaos without warning, you become vigilant about order.”
Susan Morrison, Lorne: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live

“It’s not worth it to blow yourself up for principle in a community that will sell you out.”
Susan Morrison, Lorne: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live

“There was an important matter of terminology, too: Saturday Night would feature “sketches,” not “skits.” Skits are one-joke bits done in grade school or by guys at the Rotary Club. A sketch is more complex; it’s a vignette, with a beginning, middle, and end. Michaels also declaimed his views about realism in comedy. He explained that realistic sets and costumes, unlike silly, over-the-top ones, don’t compete with the writing.”
Susan Morrison, Lorne: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live
