Don't sell your story, just tell your story.
J. J. Abrams
What I'm still grappling with and learning how to do is to be looking and thinking cinematically, having come from television.

J. J. Abrams
I try to work on shows that I would want to watch.
J. J. Abrams
There's nothing wrong with doing sequels, they're just easier to sell.
J. J. Abrams

J. J. Abrams
I'm literally open to any medium that will have me.
J. J. Abrams
I'm not trying to be coy or manipulative or Machiavellian, I want to spark people's imaginations.
J. J. Abrams
Withholding things in a story is no good if you aren't building to something substantial. It becomes foreplay without the main event, and no one wants that.
J. J. Abrams
I have nothing against 3-D in theory. But I've also never run to the movies because something's in 3-D.
J. J. Abrams
