34. The Painter Rehearsed His Lines, Including Happy Little Trees
While his on-camera persona is incredibly chill and relaxed, Bob Ross put a great deal of effort into achieving that air of calm. He would stay up late the nights before filming and talk through and rehearse what he wanted to say while painting, including the comments about mistakes being happy accidents, happy little trees, and so on. He was reportedly a meticulous planner and worked very hard to create his show.
