It's not often that I read about actors that I'm going to be meeting. I get to read articles about actors who were going to come in, so I get to see someone and say, Oh, I read that I was going to see you. It's very nice to see you.

I'm not trying to be coy or manipulative or Machiavellian, I want to spark people's imaginations.
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
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
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
But I'm grateful for everyone who would want to read a spoiler because it means that they care and want to see the movie. I know what it feels like, as an enormous Star Wars fan myself.
J. J. Abrams
I don't think anyone wants a movie on time that's not worth your time.
J. J. Abrams
Whenever you're playing sports with people who are better than you are, it makes you rise to the occasion.
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
Whenever a toddler sees a pile of blocks, he wants to tear it down.
J. J. Abrams
The Internet now provides an immediate and very clear consensus of what it is that the audience is experiencing. It's something that you should never let lead you, and yet at the same time, you should never ignore it.
J. J. Abrams
I remember being taught to read at a very early age. Like creepy young. I remember being in the crib, reading. My parents were very impressed. My reading speed, comprehension and overall ability has remained at that level ever since.
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
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
Robotics are beginning to cross that line from absolutely primitive motion to motion that resembles animal or human behavior.
J. J. Abrams
Don't sell your story, just tell your story.
J. J. Abrams
I think you have a passion and an obsession for something when it's not necessarily ubiquitous.
J. J. Abrams
Ratings have changed, viewer habits have changed and the options for the audience have grown enormously, but I don't think how you tell a story is fundamentally different.
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
When I was a kid going into the movies, you weren't force-fed information everywhere you looked about what the movie was going to be.
J. J. Abrams
I don't want to do something that is so inside that only die-hard fans will appreciate.
J. J. Abrams
