J. J. Abrams
I feel blessed that I get to be part of entertaining people in any capacity.
J. J. Abrams
I don't think anyone wants a movie on time that's not worth your time.

It's a leap of faith doing any serialised storytelling.
J. J. Abrams

J. J. Abrams
I love movies with spectacle but spectacle can be a performance, it doesn't have to be a creature.
J. J. Abrams
There's nothing wrong with doing sequels, they're just easier to sell.
J. J. Abrams

J. J. Abrams
I'm obsessed with things that are distinctly analogue.
J. J. Abrams
I try to work on shows that I would want to watch.
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 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
We used to have more references to things that we pulled out because they almost felt like they were trying too hard to allude to something.
J. J. Abrams
