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

More quotes by J. J. Abrams
Whenever I've directed something, there's this feeling of demand and focus that I like.
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
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
I'm literally open to any medium that will have me.
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
Well, when Kathy Kennedy, who is the president of Lucasfilm, came to me to ask if I'd be interested in working on this Star Wars movie, we talked about a young woman at the center of the story from the outset. And it was something that was always an important part of this movie.
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
It's a leap of faith doing any serialised storytelling.
J. J. Abrams
We used to have more references to things that we pulled out because they almost felt like they were trying too hard to allude to something.
J. J. Abrams
On movies like Star Trek and Star Wars, you have so much that will be created or extended digitally, and it's a slippery slope where you can get lost in a world of synthetic.
J. J. Abrams
As a kid, 'Star Wars' was much more my thing than 'Star Trek' was.
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 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
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
When you work on something that combines both the spectacular and the relatable, the hyperreal and the real, it suddenly can become supernatural. The hypothetical and the theoretical can become literal.
J. J. Abrams
I don't think anyone wants a movie on time that's not worth your time.
J. J. Abrams
I'm not trying to be coy or manipulative or Machiavellian, I want to spark people's imaginations.
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
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
We live in an age of instant knowledge. And there's almost a sense of entitlement to that.
J. J. Abrams
