More quotes by Jonathan Nolan
The thing about working on a TV show is that it becomes, very quickly, all consuming.
Jonathan Nolan
For a few minutes of every day, every man becomes a genius. This is the tragedy of life.
Jonathan Nolan
For me, the attraction of TV is that you continue to get to tell those stories and refine those characters. The other thing is that TV, in the last years, got really, really, really good.
Jonathan Nolan
I was struck by - Einstein's a fascinating figure who didn't have any instruments that he used, he didn't use telescopes, he used his mind to try to understand the universe.
Jonathan Nolan
I think that we, as human beings, always need to conquer our fears and reach beyond our grasp and I think it's very important that we don't become complacent or stagnant.
Jonathan Nolan
Even if you're not a parent, you have parents and you've been in those situations where there's a certain kind of goodbye - nothing this extreme exists, but I think that's what everyone holds onto, that common denominator that runs through this that everyone can understand.
Jonathan Nolan
I'm hoping that the suspension of the space program is just that, a suspension, and that it's not the final say in the matter, because I think we need it.
Jonathan Nolan
We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down, and worry about our place in the dirt.
Jonathan Nolan
Time eventually convinces most of us that forgiveness is a virtue. Conveniently, cowardice and forgiveness look identical at a certain distance.
Jonathan Nolan
I'm a big believer in pose some questions and then answer a few of them before you move onto the next set of questions.
Jonathan Nolan
I've worked in the movie business for many, many years, where you have lots of days and lots of money. It's really mainly about time. We always try to conceive all of our action from a place of, What can we shoot that looks fantastic?, rather than trying to do the kinds of thing that you would be able to accomplish in a movie.
Jonathan Nolan
I always love it best when you have a project where there is this commingling of the subject matter and the way in which you're recording that subject matter.
Jonathan Nolan
To a certain degree, with a TV show, people are looking for a certain amount of familiarity. You don't want to pull the rug out, but you also want to keep things fresh and keep changing it up.
Jonathan Nolan
One of the things that's really fun to tap in with television right now is this sort of explosion, the peak TV moment that we're in, people are exploring different modes of storytelling here. But one of the exciting things here is being able to commit upfront to a big, big, big story.
Jonathan Nolan
We are the only instrument for understanding the universe. We have to ground it in human beings.
Jonathan Nolan
If you're good at something, never do it for free.
Jonathan Nolan
Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.
Jonathan Nolan
I remember when I was a kid my first real confrontation with space travel was when the Challenger exploded and I remember how traumatic that was for me, because I remember watching that on the news and all the children in our class were watching.
Jonathan Nolan
The secret to all drama, film, TV, or books - the thing that people respond to most, and the thing I find myself as a viewer feeling most interested in, is the idea of change.
Jonathan Nolan
Mankind's expectations have to be greater than ourselves and that the further out there we go, the more we find out that it's about you and me.
Jonathan Nolan
