My gravestone will say,'Here Lies Damon Lindelof - Or Does He?
Damon Lindelof
There is no suspense in inevitability.
Damon Lindelof
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.
Damon Lindelof
I'm not glass-half-full, glass-half-empty I'm like, There's a glass?
Damon Lindelof
I look at myself more as a storyteller than a screenwriter, as pretentious as that may sound, but that's what really attracts me to TED Talks. For me, the really effective ones are being presented by expert storytellers.
Damon Lindelof
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.
Damon Lindelof
The best jokes on The Leftovers are the ones that make you feel a little sick to your stomach.
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
I'll never be immune to criticism, and that's okay, and I'm very comfortable with that.
Damon Lindelof
Connecting dots is not that rewarding of an experience.
Damon Lindelof
Sometimes diehard fans expect so much that they're never happy no matter what they get.
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
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
I've always felt that really good prequels should be original movies.
Damon Lindelof
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.
Damon Lindelof
One person's magical thinking is another person's cynicism.
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 fascinated by Disneyland and Disney World, and my favorite part of the park was always Tomorrowland.
Damon Lindelof
Essentially, there's no scientific evidence whatsoever that could ever be presented to me that would wipe out my fundamental spiritual beliefs.
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.
