It's from the book "Something Wonderful Right Away" by Jeffrey Sweet about the Second City improv group. This quote in particular comes from the founder, Paul Sills.
Edit: Accidentally linked to a review rather than the book.
The best way, in my opinion, to learn more about it is to just do it! Based on your post history, looks like you're in NYC? I personally recommend either the Magnet or UCB. (I've taken classes at both. There's a lot more improv in NYC but I haven't taken classes at them yet!)
EDIT: To learn more about how improv was done by Alan Alda, check out Something Wonderful Right Away or The Second City Almanac of Improvisation.
