J. J. Abrams
Whenever a toddler sees a pile of blocks, he wants to tear it down.
J. J. Abrams
I guess the idea of not wanting to choose to direct a film, for which I've not read a script. It's a tough decision to make without seeing any pages. That's not to say that I don't have all the faith in the world in the spectacular writers.
J. J. Abrams
Whenever you're playing sports with people who are better than you are, it makes you rise to the occasion.
J. J. Abrams
The ability of a television series to make adjustments is something you've got to take advantage of.
J. J. Abrams
But I'm grateful for everyone who would want to read a spoiler because it means that they care and want to see the movie. I know what it feels like, as an enormous Star Wars fan myself.
J. J. Abrams
I try to push ideas away, and the ones that will not leave me alone are the ones that ultimately end up happening.
