More quotes by J. J. Abrams
Whenever a toddler sees a pile of blocks, he wants to tear it down.
J. J. Abrams
Withholding things in a story is no good if you aren't building to something substantial. It becomes foreplay without the main event, and no one wants that.
J. J. Abrams
One of my favorite things about 'Star Trek' wasn't just the overt banter but the humor in that show about the relationships between the main characters and their reactions to the situations they would face there was a lot of comedy in that show without ever breaking its reality.
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
It's a leap of faith doing any serialised storytelling.
J. J. Abrams
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.
J. J. Abrams
As a kid, 'Star Wars' was much more my thing than 'Star Trek' was.
J. J. Abrams
When I was a kid going into the movies, you weren't force-fed information everywhere you looked about what the movie was going to be.
J. J. Abrams
The ability of a television series to make adjustments is something you've got to take advantage of.
J. J. Abrams
I quickly said that, because of my loyalty to 'Star Trek' and also just being a fan, I wouldn’t even want to be involved in the next version of those things. I declined any involvement very early on. I’d rather be in the audience not knowing what was coming, rather than being involved in the minutiae of making them.
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
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'd love to do a movie where the monster is human, where the issue is not otherworldly, or horror or science fiction.
J. J. Abrams
I've always liked working on stories that combine people who are relatable with something insane.
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
We live in an age of instant knowledge. And there's almost a sense of entitlement to that.
J. J. Abrams
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.
J. J. Abrams
Whenever I've directed something, there's this feeling of demand and focus that I like.
J. J. Abrams
I don't want to do something that is so inside that only die-hard fans will appreciate.
J. J. Abrams
There's nothing wrong with doing sequels, they're just easier to sell.
J. J. Abrams
