I felt like if I said something positive on Twitter, it got no play. But if I said something negative on Twitter, it was a billion retweets and so that was giving me a Pavlovian response to be mean, and I don't want to be mean. We all have mean thoughts. They should not be broadcast on Twitter. You don't need to see mean things.

I'm not sitting around thinking of ideas for TV shows.

Anger is not a real feeling. Every time in my life I've ever been angry, it's because I was scared, or because I was sad and I didn't know it. Anger doesn't just come out of a vacuum.

I was born in 1973, so I did not see 'Alien' when it was released theatrically. I saw 'Alien' when it was on Home Box Office. I think I was probably 10.

I feel like great TED Talks are ones that are a little bit subject to interpretation, that do provoke further conversation - and potentially controversy.

You can watch an episode of Friends or an episode of Law & Order and just drop in, but you're not going to in the middle of Season 4, Episode 5 of Lost. It's like picking up a Harry Potter book and flipping to a chapter. You have to read it from beginning to end.

I have found, unfortunately, that if I take on too many projects at one time, there is a higher probability of those projects sucking.
Damon Lindelof

Damon Lindelof
In really, really good science fiction the line between the science and the fiction is blurry.
Damon Lindelof
Sometimes we get frustrated ourselves and decide it's time to download a big chunk of mythology. And then the audience says, 'I find this confusing and alienating and too weird.' So then we pull back, and they say, 'You're not giving us enough'.
Damon Lindelof
Once you spend more than $100 million on a movie, you have to save the world.
Damon Lindelof
I'm not glass-half-full, glass-half-empty I'm like, There's a glass?
Damon Lindelof
I've always been fascinated by Disneyland and Disney World, and my favorite part of the park was always Tomorrowland.

When you're a writer and you're a producer, traditionally the junkets are really focused on the beautiful people and nobody wants to talk to you.
Damon Lindelof
Michael Arndt, that guy - you're just supposed to say nice things about other writers, but I worship Michael Arndt.
Damon Lindelof
It's just immensely frustrating that things like Breaking Bad get made that are kind of perfect! There's not even a bad episode of Breaking Bad, let alone a bad season. I want to be able to say, Hey everybody, it's impossible to make a show where every episode is great! No it's not.
Damon Lindelof
I've always felt that really good prequels should be original movies.
Damon Lindelof
I can't live my life under the sort of I cannot fail philosophy, because then every time I do fail, which feels more inevitable than me being perfect all the time, it's going to be soul crushing. And more importantly, I'll never take any risks.
Damon Lindelof
Sometimes diehard fans expect so much that they're never happy no matter what they get.
Damon Lindelof
One person's magical thinking is another person's cynicism.
