More quotes by 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
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're going to leave this planet at some point further than we have, we're going to go beyond the moon, we're going to go to mars. We all kind of know that on some level, I think actually. So there's an inevitability to human evolution, this being the next step.
Jonathan Nolan
Typically with HBO shows, the ninth episode often winds up being a big one and when lots of exciting stuff happens. And then the tenth one is the more placid, character-based one.
Jonathan Nolan
If you're good at something, never do it for free.
Jonathan Nolan
None of us like violence in the real world, but we're fascinated with it onscreen.
Jonathan Nolan
Time is an absurdity. An abstraction. The only thing that matters is this moment.
Jonathan Nolan
We are the only instrument for understanding the universe. We have to ground it in human beings.
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
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
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 thought it would be an enormous amount of fun to make a movie that heads out into space, which is something that we had never done before.
Jonathan Nolan
Believing the lie that time will heal all wounds is just a nice way of saying that time deadens us.
Jonathan Nolan
The thing about working on a TV show is that it becomes, very quickly, all consuming.
Jonathan Nolan
One of the things with our show is posing a lot of questions, but getting a lot of answers too.
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
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
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
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
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
