More quotes by J. J. Abrams
I was just like, I want to make a decent 2-D movie. I was so worried that, instead of being a decent 2-D movie, it would have been a bad 3-D one.
J. J. Abrams
The ability of a television series to make adjustments is something you've got to take advantage of.
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
As a kid, 'Star Wars' was much more my thing than 'Star Trek' was.
J. J. Abrams
Don't sell your story, just tell your story.
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

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 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
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
Maybe there are times when mystery is more important than knowledge. I realized that the white page is a magic box. Ultimately, the mistery box is all of us. Ubiquitous technologies. What comes next ? Mystery as catalyst for imagination.
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
It's a leap of faith doing any serialised storytelling.
J. J. Abrams
I think you have a passion and an obsession for something when it's not necessarily ubiquitous.
J. J. Abrams
I have nothing against 3-D in theory. But I've also never run to the movies because something's in 3-D.
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
It's more important you learn what to make movies about than how to make movies
