Some people are very lucky, and have the story in their heads. I've never storyboarded anything. I like the idea of chance. What makes God laugh is people who make plans.

If you just storyboard something, you've already planned it, and you're stuck in the limitations of your imagination.
You have only so many chances to tell stories. I didn't want to be forever wedded to one form of storytelling when there are so many out there.
Whoever has the luck to be born a character can laugh even at death. Because a character will never die! A man will die, a writer, the instrument of creation: but what he has created will never die!
I guess telling stories is an art. I never looked at it that way. I just started talking, and everyone started laughing. So I kept talking, and they kept laughing.
I have never believed much in luck, and my sense of humor has tended to walk on the dark side.
I've never been one of those guys who storyboards every frame, because that would take away some of the mystery and some of the fun.
I'm one of the lucky writers: plots come easily to me.
The opportunity to be a storyteller is the greatest thing in the world, and I feel so lucky and really love it.
I put the storyboard down and came back to it like two weeks later and saw that I had written 'Butt-Head' next to the picture, and it kind of made me laugh and I thought, Well, might as well go for every laugh you can get.
Fairytales have always got to have that scary quality, as long as you make them laugh.
