almost characters experience feeling great love sadness time
If you go to a movie and it's a great experience, the experience at the end of it is always like this sadness that it's over, that your time with these characters is finished. There's almost like an achy feeling that I have when I go to a movie that I love and it ends.
communion form good segment telling whom
When you're a storyteller, part of the process of storytelling is the kind of communion you form with the audience to whom you're telling your story. If some segment of the audience doesn't like that story, it doesn't feel good.
despite dicaprio kate leonardo love rooting
I love 'Titanic' and the idea that you're kind of rooting for Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet to survive despite the fact that you know that they're not going to.
history law might
I didn't know at all I wanted to do TV. I thought I might go to law school. I might want to become a history professor.
absolutely deliver good indebted job
I really think that as good of a job as you do as a writer, you're absolutely indebted to the actors that have to deliver that material.
multiple works
I think everyone in Hollywood works on multiple things because you never know what's going to happen with your projects.

Ironically, I wouldn't say I'm a massive horror fan. I love thrillers.
We should just go back to, like, episode 30 and re-break from there and just make it a spaceship. That would be the unexpected reboot of 'Lost.'
accepted began comments ended ending fifteen finale knew positive possible stand ten toward twitter
As we began working toward the finale of 'Lost,' I knew there was no possible ending that was going to be universally loved, and I accepted that. We ended the story the way we wanted it to end, and we stand by it. On my Twitter feed, I still get ten to fifteen positive comments for every negative one.
awesome both chance classes daughter exciting experience greatest incredibly son time wife
Both my wife and I went to Harvard, and it's incredibly exciting that our son and daughter are going there and have the chance to experience it. There are many awesome opportunities at Harvard. That's one of its greatest frustrations - not having enough time to take the classes you want to take.
experience frame special time upset
'Brisco' was the first show I created, and of course, at the time I had no idea what a special experience it was because I didn't have a frame of reference. After it was over I was like, 'Damn. Shoot. That was something special.' I'm still upset that it got cancelled.
assume business companies eventually exploit franchise money point revisit
I think movie and television companies are in the business of making money, and if you have a franchise, eventually you'll want to exploit that franchise and revisit it. So I assume at some point someone will do another story in the 'Lost' world.
bit dinosaur profitable terms type
I think that 'Lost' is a bit of a dinosaur in terms of the type of show it is. The economics just don't support making a show this big and complicated profitable enough for a network.
answered demands ending fate mean nature questions
We know what the ending is seriously. This is a show that demands an ending. We want to find out what is the fate of these people. Do they get off the island? What is the nature of the island? I mean there are some big fundamental questions that you want answered at the end of this show.
