I try to work on shows that I would want to watch.
J. J. Abrams
I don't think anyone wants a movie on time that's not worth your time.
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
There are always a bunch of ideas floating around and I do the best that I can to try to not do them. The ideas don't go away and, over time, are finally like, Okay, it's been around so long, I have to get this thing out, and it somehow ends up coming to some version of fruition.
J. J. Abrams
It's more important you learn what to make movies about than how to make movies
J. J. Abrams

J. J. Abrams
I believe in anything that will engage the audience and make the story more effective.
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
We live in an age of instant knowledge. And there's almost a sense of entitlement to that.
J. J. Abrams
I'm not trying to be coy or manipulative or Machiavellian, I want to spark people's imaginations.
J. J. Abrams

J. J. Abrams
I'd love to do a movie where the monster is human, where the issue is not otherworldly, or horror or science fiction.
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
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 don't want to do something that is so inside that only die-hard fans will appreciate.
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
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
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 love movies with spectacle but spectacle can be a performance, it doesn't have to be a creature.
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.
