I do feel like no matter what you're doing, whether it's music or writing a play or a poem or drawing a picture or painting something, that you're speaking to what is it you want to express, what is it you want to see.
J. J. Abrams
Image
It is an incredible thing to see how many crazy things get thrown out that people then often write commentaries about how happy they are or how disappointed they are about something that's completely false. But, it's a lot of noise, frankly.

Image
Whenever you're playing sports with people who are better than you are, it makes you rise to the occasion.

Image
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
Image
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.

We're always pitching ideas and being told no thank you. No offense taken, because I would so much rather be told the truth that they're not interested and be able to find the right show for that network down the line.

I'd love to do a movie where the monster is human, where the issue is not otherworldly, or horror or science fiction.

Image
I'm literally open to any medium that will have me.
J. J. Abrams
Image
I was just like, I want to make a decent 2-D movie. I was so worried that, instead of being a decent 2-D movie, it would have been a bad 3-D one.
J. J. Abrams
Image
I do think there's something about the digital age that is increasingly dehumanising us. We're in this very weird place where we're being pulled into experiences that aren't really experiences at all.
J. J. Abrams
Image
The Internet now provides an immediate and very clear consensus of what it is that the audience is experiencing. It's something that you should never let lead you, and yet at the same time, you should never ignore it.
J. J. Abrams
Image
There are always a bunch of ideas floating around and I do the best that I can to try to not do them. The ideas don't go away and, over time, are finally like, Okay, it's been around so long, I have to get this thing out, and it somehow ends up coming to some version of fruition.

There's nothing wrong with doing sequels, they're just easier to sell.
J. J. Abrams
Image
I think you have a passion and an obsession for something when it's not necessarily ubiquitous.
J. J. Abrams
Image
It's what happens. You love, then you lose, then you die. Even if you survive, you die.

Image
It's a leap of faith doing any serialised storytelling.
J. J. Abrams
Image
I find that it's hard to fully examine one's life and not have faith be part of the discussion.
J. J. Abrams
Image
I have nothing against 3-D in theory. But I've also never run to the movies because something's in 3-D.
J. J. Abrams
Image
I have no style. There are certain people who just have a visual sense that defines their work. You could probably watch 30 seconds of anything they do and you'll know exactly who directed it. I don't have that skill.

Robotics are beginning to cross that line from absolutely primitive motion to motion that resembles animal or human behavior.
