More quotes by 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.
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
It's not often that I read about actors that I'm going to be meeting. I get to read articles about actors who were going to come in, so I get to see someone and say, Oh, I read that I was going to see you. It's very nice to see you.
J. J. Abrams
Obviously with the Internet and increased access to other means of watching shows, the audience has dispersed and is all over the place and that is a challenge.
J. J. Abrams
I am lucky, I'm the first to admit that.
J. J. Abrams
I'm obsessed with things that are distinctly analogue.
J. J. Abrams
As a director/writer/producer, all you ever want is to work with actors who make you look better, who make the work you do seem as good as it can be and even better than it is.
J. J. Abrams
What I'm still grappling with and learning how to do is to be looking and thinking cinematically, having come from television.
J. J. Abrams
It's a leap of faith doing any serialised storytelling.
J. J. Abrams
I love movies with spectacle but spectacle can be a performance, it doesn't have to be a creature.
J. J. Abrams
I love working with the right actor, and if the right actor happens to be unknown, that should be allowed, too, I think.
J. J. Abrams
I don't try and write strong female characters or strong male characters, I just try and write, hopefully, strong characters and sometimes they happen to be female.
J. J. Abrams
People never know what they want, though everyone says they do. If they did, nobody would ever be surprised.
J. J. Abrams
I don't want to do something that is so inside that only die-hard fans will appreciate.
J. J. Abrams
Maybe there are times when mystery is more important than knowledge. I realized that the white page is a magic box. Ultimately, the mistery box is all of us. Ubiquitous technologies. What comes next ? Mystery as catalyst for imagination.
J. J. Abrams
I was more of a Star Wars kid, actually. I always thought Star Trek was a lot of talk, and it felt a little self-important. It was hard for me to get into it.
J. J. Abrams
I'm not trying to be coy or manipulative or Machiavellian, I want to spark people's imaginations.
J. J. Abrams
When you go to commercial, you want something to call the viewers back, and if you don't have a decent act out, the audience probably won't be there in the numbers you want when the show returns.
J. J. Abrams
I'm an impatient guy and tend not to like to stay with one thing for a long time. I'll never be able to write as many scripts as I did for Felicity or Alias ever again. I'm just too impatient these days. I want to get on to the next project.
J. J. Abrams
Well, we knew that we wanted to tell a story that made bold choices, and one of those bold choices was meeting a storm trooper and seeing who this person was. That's something that had never been done.
J. J. Abrams
