J. J. Abrams
Well, we knew that we wanted to tell a story that made bold choices, and one of those bold choices was meeting a storm trooper and seeing who this person was. That's something that had never been done.
J. J. Abrams
I don't want to do something that is so inside that only die-hard fans will appreciate.
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
With three kids you are just trying to survive. You can't be fastidious.
