More quotes by Damon Lindelof
The best jokes on The Leftovers are the ones that make you feel a little sick to your stomach.
Damon Lindelof
I'll never be immune to criticism, and that's okay, and I'm very comfortable with that.
Damon Lindelof
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.
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
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
Once you spend more than $100 million on a movie, you have to save the world.
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 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
Essentially, there's no scientific evidence whatsoever that could ever be presented to me that would wipe out my fundamental spiritual beliefs.
Damon Lindelof
There is no suspense in inevitability.
Damon Lindelof
Michael Arndt, that guy - you're just supposed to say nice things about other writers, but I worship Michael Arndt.
Damon Lindelof
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.
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
When someone says something in an interview, the beauty of Twitter is that it's a platform for instantaneous response.
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
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
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
One person's magical thinking is another person's cynicism.
Damon Lindelof
People are disappointed when the world doesn't end on their watch.
