‘The Only Safe Thing is’ — Elaine May Quote Tee | Wear Words Typographic Statement Tee — Classic Tee

“The only safe thing is to take a chance.” This was the shared motto of Elaine May and Mike Nichols in their late-1950s improv days — Nichols quoted it too — though nobody lived it harder than May, who kept gambling on unruly films like A New Leaf. The motto turns caution inside out: the real risk is the safe choice that quietly costs you the work worth making.
