More quotes by J. J. Abrams
I'm literally open to any medium that will have me.
J. J. Abrams
With three kids you are just trying to survive. You can't be fastidious.
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
People never know what they want, though everyone says they do. If they did, nobody would ever be surprised.
J. J. Abrams
I believe in anything that will engage the audience and make the story more effective.
J. J. Abrams
I find that it's hard to fully examine one's life and not have faith be part of the discussion.
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
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
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 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.
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
It's what happens. You love, then you lose, then you die. Even if you survive, you die.
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
I don't want to do something that is so inside that only die-hard fans will appreciate.
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 try to work on shows that I would want to watch.
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
My work isn't any more important than anything else in the family
J. J. Abrams
I feel blessed that I get to be part of entertaining people in any capacity.
J. J. Abrams
Well, we knew that we wanted to tell a story that made bold choices, and one of those bold choices was meeting a storm trooper and seeing who this person was. That's something that had never been done.
J. J. Abrams
