More quotes by J. J. Abrams
It's a leap of faith doing any serialised storytelling.
J. J. Abrams
Robotics are beginning to cross that line from absolutely primitive motion to motion that resembles animal or human behavior.
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
It's more important you learn what to make movies about than how to make movies
J. J. Abrams
My mother is the coolest, most amazing person I know.
J. J. Abrams
My work isn't any more important than anything else in the family
J. J. Abrams
Ratings have changed, viewer habits have changed and the options for the audience have grown enormously, but I don't think how you tell a story is fundamentally different.
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
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
The ability of a television series to make adjustments is something you've got to take advantage of.
J. J. Abrams
I don't think anyone wants a movie on time that's not worth your time.
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
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 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
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
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
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
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 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
