More quotes by 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 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 not a bad way to live once you let go of the idea that you deserve more.
J. J. Abrams
I'm not trying to be coy or manipulative or Machiavellian, I want to spark people's imaginations.

J. J. Abrams
It's a leap of faith doing any serialised storytelling.
J. J. Abrams
I do feel like no matter what you're doing, whether it's music or writing a play or a poem or drawing a picture or painting something, that you're speaking to what is it you want to express, what is it you want to see.
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
I don't want to do something that is so inside that only die-hard fans will appreciate.
J. J. Abrams
We live in an age of instant knowledge. And there's almost a sense of entitlement to that.
J. J. Abrams
When you go to commercial, you want something to call the viewers back, and if you don't have a decent act out, the audience probably won't be there in the numbers you want when the show returns.
J. J. Abrams
I believe in anything that will engage the audience and make the story more effective.
J. J. Abrams
It's what happens. You love, then you lose, then you die. Even if you survive, you die.
