More quotes by J. J. Abrams
There's nothing wrong with doing sequels, they're just easier to sell.
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
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
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
As a kid, 'Star Wars' was much more my thing than 'Star Trek' was.
J. J. Abrams
My mother is the coolest, most amazing person I know.
J. J. Abrams
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.
J. J. Abrams
I was more of a Star Wars kid, actually. I always thought Star Trek was a lot of talk, and it felt a little self-important. It was hard for me to get into it.
J. J. Abrams
I feel like the beauty of this age of filmmaking is that there are more tools at your disposal, but it doesn’t mean that any of these new tools are automatically the right tools. And there are a lot of situations where we went very much old school and in fact used CG more to remove things than to add things.
J. J. Abrams
I try to push ideas away, and the ones that will not leave me alone are the ones that ultimately end up happening.
J. J. Abrams
I do think there's something about the digital age that is increasingly dehumanising us. We're in this very weird place where we're being pulled into experiences that aren't really experiences at all.
J. J. Abrams
It's a leap of faith doing any serialised storytelling.
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
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
People never know what they want, though everyone says they do. If they did, nobody would ever be surprised.
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
I love working with the right actor, and if the right actor happens to be unknown, that should be allowed, too, I think.
J. J. Abrams
It's not a bad way to live once you let go of the idea that you deserve more.
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
The ability of a television series to make adjustments is something you've got to take advantage of.
J. J. Abrams
