More quotes by J. J. Abrams
I think that the reason you keep hearing that it's the golden age of TV is because original storytelling is happening all the time in that medium, and people are hungry for it. And I'm as guilty as anyone for being part of an industry that is capitalizing on existing stories, sequels, these things that we are seeing again and again and again.
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
It's what happens. You love, then you lose, then you die. Even if you survive, you die.
J. J. Abrams
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.
J. J. Abrams
It's more important you learn what to make movies about than how to make movies
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
I'm obsessed with things that are distinctly analogue.
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've always liked working on stories that combine people who are relatable with something insane.
J. J. Abrams
I'm not trying to be coy or manipulative or Machiavellian, I want to spark people's imaginations.
J. J. Abrams
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
I'm literally open to any medium that will have me.
J. J. Abrams
I mean, my dad's a television producer, and I knew I could get a job as an assistant or a reader with one of his friends, but it wasn't exactly what I wanted to do.
J. J. Abrams
My mother is the coolest, most amazing person I know.
J. J. Abrams
It's a leap of faith doing any serialised storytelling.
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
I try to work on shows that I would want to watch.
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
I believe in anything that will engage the audience and make the story more effective.
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
