I don't storyboard. I guess it dates back to my days in live television, where there was no possibility of storyboarding and everything was shot right on the spot - on the air, as we say - at the moment we were transmitting. I prefer to be open to what the actors do, how they interact to the given situation.

If you just storyboard something, you've already planned it, and you're stuck in the limitations of your imagination.

I never storyboard. I hate it. I don't understand why so many directors want to make comic strips of their films.

I don't do storyboarding, ever; I'm not interested in that.

I like to draw my storyboards myself.

I only make storyboards for action scenes. Once you make a storyboard, you don't film; it can be a stiff move.

I loved being asked 2,000 questions a day, storyboarding every move, knowing as though by instinct exactly where the camera had to be, because it was my story.

I don't story board. I do something else, which is, I block it. We then train to the blocking. In other words, when everybody's training, they're actually training a lot of the moves that we are definitely going to use, and then, I do a lot of photography of that, and that becomes where the cameras go.

The storyboard department doesn't talk to the layout department, which doesn't talk to the writing department. They're all jealous of each other.
