I'm literally open to any medium that will have me.
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
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
It's what happens. You love, then you lose, then you die. Even if you survive, you die.
J. J. Abrams
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.
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
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
George Lucas is the reason that we got to make this movie, you know, he was the man that created this whole galaxy, and I am incredibly grateful to him. He's an artist and he's a grown-up. And I take him at his word, and it doesn't mean I agree with everything he says, but I respect, you know, his right to his opinion.
J. J. Abrams
I feel blessed that I get to be part of entertaining people in any capacity.
J. J. Abrams
Whenever you're playing sports with people who are better than you are, it makes you rise to the occasion.
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
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
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
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
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
I'm obsessed with things that are distinctly analogue.
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.
