I love finding new creative partnerships but then continuing the partnerships I'm already in.
I love collaborating with different people.
One person's magical thinking is another person's cynicism.
I stand by the Lost finale. It's the story that we wanted to tell, and we told it. No excuses. No apologies. I look back on it as fondly as I look back on the process of writing the whole show. And while I'll always care what you think, I can't be a slave to it anymore. Here's why: I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. And I was really … I was alive.
Once you spend more than $100 million on a movie, you have to save the world,
I've always been fascinated by Disneyland and Disney World, and my favorite part of the park was always Tomorrowland.
What's in the hatch is so intense/cool/complicated that it actually takes three full episodes to fully understand it. Fortunately, these are the first three episodes of the show, so the wait is over!
Whenever we do a story or we show the monster or we find the hatch, that all has to be consistent with what we know the ending to be. We have a goal that we are working towards.
We're lobbying ABC for when the show is on, it's on, and when it's off, it's off. So, we want to air it in three acts next year. You know, blocks of seven, seven and eight. But in order to do that, we have to roll the show out in October instead of September, and hopefully that will work out.
I saw myself as a teacher's pet but with a little of Ed Haskell mixed in. I was the teacher's pet, but that didn't mean that I was trying to pull one over.
'Star Wars' is a galaxy a long time ago, far, far away. 'Star Wars' is not about our future.
I always get frustrated with movies and television shows that cheat. For example, if our season premiere started with those guys washing up on the beach? I would be like, wait a minute. Those guys were about 10 miles offshore. How did they get to the beach? I don't want to cheat.
That depends on whether or not he likes you. He is inclined to nickname you based on the way that you look. He is sort of the ugly part of us that says the things we may be thinking but are afraid to say. The only endearing name he has for anyone is Kate.
His house has become a mecca for all the other actors. He opens the door for everyone to come over on Sundays.
