bit closed
'Star Trek' was always a little bit closed emotionally. I never connected to the characters.
insane particular surgical
You know, we've got to this place, where you go to a movie for one particular surgical fix. So, it's like, I want the pulse-pounding action, or the insane falling-off-my-seat comedy, or the devastating, heart-breaking drama.
good work
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.
writing years long
Cameron Crowe is someone who I've admired for so long, and I've been friends with him for many years, and I've wanted to work with him so badly that I just never stopped bothering him about writing a script that would be for a pilot.
stars couple war
We went on the opening weekend [of Star Wars], a group of us went out and just popped into a couple theaters just to see people in the theater watching the movie, and it was incredibly gratifying just to see the thing out there being watched by people. And the reaction was more than we could've expected.
jobs stars war
Well, you know, going into any project, especially with a fan base as vocal and passionate as something as "Star Wars," you will have groups of people who will find issues with whatever it is you're doing. But our job was to tell the best story we could about characters that we loved, and we knew that we needed to go backwards to go forwards, and we needed to go back to a feeling and a place and a time.
people want knows
People never know what they want, though everyone says they do. If they did, nobody would ever be surprised.
thinking film share
I think that the success of the film is as much about it being something that families could share as anything else.
strong writing character
I don't try and write strong female characters or strong male characters, I just try and write, hopefully, strong characters and sometimes they happen to be female.
kids information feds
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.
television advantage ability
The ability of a television series to make adjustments is something you've got to take advantage of.
stars war character
And the parents who knew "Star Wars" could take kids and feel like they've gone back to a place that is familiar and yet found brand-new characters that took them somewhere they'd never been. And it was important me that we embrace that feeling, and you can call it retro, but I think it's what "Star Wars" is.
character interesting flaws
To me the interesting main character is never the one without flaws.
animal lines behavior
Robotics are beginning to cross that line from absolutely primitive motion to motion that resembles animal or human behavior.
