In really, really good science fiction the line between the science and the fiction is blurry.
Damon Lindelof
Image
Good twists are enormously hard to come by, and I think the best ones are earned ones. The idea that a story can take a left turn on you, it's easy to do, but it has to be done very, very carefully, or else you risk losing the audience's trust.

Essentially, there's no scientific evidence whatsoever that could ever be presented to me that would wipe out my fundamental spiritual beliefs.
Damon Lindelof
Image
Finding meaning in the relationships that we have with one another - that's the only way to achieve any kind of fundamental true grace and that points to where it all ends up. It's let's stop being away some place, let's be here. It's, let's be in this.

I'm not glass-half-full, glass-half-empty I'm like, There's a glass?

At some point, you can't take a risk just to take a risk because that's a betrayal, in and of itself.

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

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 think that 'The Shield' was a phenomenal series finale.

I've always been fascinated by Disneyland and Disney World, and my favorite part of the park was always Tomorrowland.

The interpretive element of Lost, the fact that you immediately need as soon as the episode is over to seek out a community of people to express your own thoughts about it, understand what they thought about it and form an opinion, that's the bread and butter of the show.
Damon Lindelof
Image
I'll never be immune to criticism, and that's okay, and I'm very comfortable with that.
Damon Lindelof
Image
There is no suspense in inevitability.
Damon Lindelof
Image
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.

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.

The best jokes on The Leftovers are the ones that make you feel a little sick to your stomach.
Damon Lindelof
Image
I'm trying to focus as much on the here and now as possible. To live my life in a way that the humans that I know here on the planet Earth feel like they've been treated with respect by me, whether they're people that I'm very close to or the audience who's watching my work.

If you do something awesome, you should be proud of yourself.
Damon Lindelof
Image
I think that we, as writers, get excited by risk. When we are feeling comfortable and familiar, I wouldn't say that we get bored, but the energy in the room gets flat. When we're most excited and when the show is the most fun, it's when we're duking things out.

Once you spend more than $100 million on a movie, you have to save the world.
