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.

Image
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.

Image
I'm working on the Star Wars script today and the people in my office have covered up all my windows with black paper. I guess they wanted to make sure no one could see what I was doing. It seems rather extreme.
J. J. Abrams
Image
I don't want to do something that is so inside that only die-hard fans will appreciate.
J. J. Abrams
Image
I find that it's hard to fully examine one's life and not have faith be part of the discussion.
J. J. Abrams
Image
Whenever I've directed something, there's this feeling of demand and focus that I like.
J. J. Abrams
Image
When I was a kid going into the movies, you weren't force-fed information everywhere you looked about what the movie was going to be.
J. J. Abrams
Image
I have nothing against 3-D in theory. But I've also never run to the movies because something's in 3-D.

Image
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
Image
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.

I try to work on shows that I would want to watch.
