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.

I believe in anything that will engage the audience and make the story more effective.

Image
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.

I have nothing against 3-D in theory. But I've also never run to the movies because something's in 3-D.

The ability of a television series to make adjustments is something you've got to take advantage of.

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.

As a kid, 'Star Wars' was much more my thing than 'Star Trek' was.

Image
I think you have a passion and an obsession for something when it's not necessarily ubiquitous.
J. J. Abrams
Image
Whenever I've directed something, there's this feeling of demand and focus that I like.
J. J. Abrams
Image
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.

Image
I quickly said that, because of my loyalty to 'Star Trek' and also just being a fan, I wouldn’t even want to be involved in the next version of those things. I declined any involvement very early on. I’d rather be in the audience not knowing what was coming, rather than being involved in the minutiae of making them.

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.

Robotics are beginning to cross that line from absolutely primitive motion to motion that resembles animal or human behavior.

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.

I feel blessed that I get to be part of entertaining people in any capacity.
