As a director/writer/producer, all you ever want is to work with actors who make you look better, who make the work you do seem as good as it can be and even better than it is.
J. J. Abrams
George Lucas is the reason that we got to make this movie, you know, he was the man that created this whole galaxy, and I am incredibly grateful to him. He's an artist and he's a grown-up. And I take him at his word, and it doesn't mean I agree with everything he says, but I respect, you know, his right to his opinion.
J. J. Abrams
On movies like Star Trek and Star Wars, you have so much that will be created or extended digitally, and it's a slippery slope where you can get lost in a world of synthetic.
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

J. J. Abrams
I believe in anything that will engage the audience and make the story more effective.

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