The fundamental law of nature is to not know too much about yourself.
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.

There is no suspense in inevitability.

In really, really good science fiction the line between the science and the fiction is blurry.

Image
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.

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
Image
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
Image
When someone says something in an interview, the beauty of Twitter is that it's a platform for instantaneous response.
Damon Lindelof
Image
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
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.

Michael Arndt, that guy - you're just supposed to say nice things about other writers, but I worship Michael Arndt.
Damon Lindelof
Image
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
Image
I'll never be immune to criticism, and that's okay, and I'm very comfortable with that.
Damon Lindelof
Image
People are disappointed when the world doesn't end on their watch.
Damon Lindelof
