J. J. Abrams
  • 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.

  • When I was a little kid - and even still - I loved magic tricks. When I saw how movies got made - at least had a glimpse when I went on the Universal Studios tour with my grandfather, I remember feeling like this was another means by which I could do magic.

  • Making movies was more a reaction to not being chosen for sports. Other kids were out there playing at whatever I was off making something blow up and filming it, or making a mould of my sister's head using alginating plaster.

  • I love recording music.

  • I'd love to do a movie where the monster is human, where the issue is not otherworldly, or horror or science fiction.
