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
I think you have a passion and an obsession for something when it's not necessarily ubiquitous.
J. J. Abrams
