In a recent New York Times interview, the actor Bill Murray discusses the importance of having a sense of spontaneity, improvisation, and connection with others. He observes that being playful not only puts both himself and others at ease–it also gets everyone into a deeper kind of sync:

“It pays off in your life when you’re in an elevator and people are uncomfortable. You can just say, ‘That’s a beautiful scarf.’ It’s just thinking about making someone else feel comfortable. You don’t worry about yourself, because we’re vibrating together. If I can make yours just a little bit groovier, it’ll affect me. It comes back, somehow.”
