More quotes by Damon Lindelof
People are disappointed when the world doesn't end on their watch.
Damon Lindelof
Michael Arndt, that guy - you're just supposed to say nice things about other writers, but I worship Michael Arndt.
Damon Lindelof
Hindsight is 20/20, but the moral of the writing for me is that when you're feeling very scared and nervous about something and you're fairly convinced that it could be a massive disaster, that's exactly the idea that you should do.
Damon Lindelof
Once you spend more than $100 million on a movie, you have to save the world.
Damon Lindelof
There is no suspense in inevitability.
Damon Lindelof
My father - until the day that my dad died - didn't know how many points you scored in a touchdown. He could say there were nine innings in baseball, but no intricacies of the sport.
Damon Lindelof
I've always been into having stories told to me. I was a voracious reader, my father was also a teller of tales and the kind of Baron Munchausen proxy of a tall tale was much more interesting than a true tale.
Damon Lindelof
In really, really good science fiction the line between the science and the fiction is blurry.
Damon Lindelof
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.
Damon Lindelof
At some point, you can't take a risk just to take a risk because that's a betrayal, in and of itself.
Damon Lindelof
When someone says something in an interview, the beauty of Twitter is that it's a platform for instantaneous response.
Damon Lindelof
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.
Damon Lindelof
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
I feel like great TED Talks are ones that are a little bit subject to interpretation, that do provoke further conversation - and potentially controversy.
Damon Lindelof
I've always been really interested in the future, and I feel like all of the movies that I've been exposed to, over the course of the last 20 to 30 years, have shown me a future that I don't really want to be living in.
Damon Lindelof
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.
Damon Lindelof
I think that 'The Shield' was a phenomenal series finale.
Damon Lindelof
I think 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy has a very satisfying ending, and there's not really that deep of a mythological construct.
Damon Lindelof
The fundamental law of nature is to not know too much about yourself.
Damon Lindelof
I think that at the end of the day I'm drawn to a certain level of ambiguous storytelling that requires hard thought and work in the same way that the New York Times crossword puzzle does: Sometimes you just want to put it down or throw it out the window, but there's a real rewarding sense if you feel like you've cracked it.
