book artistic process
It's a very artistic process to translate and adapt a book into a series.
writing trying scripts
As hard as you try to write a good script and you have great intentions, this alchemy has to occur.
character able
You have to be able to get inside the heads of the characters and completely sympathize and understand them
dark tone made
The Following and Hannibal are really well made, but the tone is very consistently dark.
past notion
It's entirely possible that the notion of what is the past, what is the present and what is the future, could change.
thinking giving television
I think that the best television now is giving you a three-act experience.
moving thinking stories
I think that we're moving into this new phase of television where audiences are really embracing stories with a beginning, middle, and end.
dream betrayal real
We feel like 'Lost' deserved a real resolution, not a 'snow globe, waking up in bed, it's all been a dream, cut to black' kind of ending. We thought that would be kind of a betrayal to an audience that's been on this journey for six years. We thought that was not the right ending for our show.
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.
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.
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.
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.'
love massive
Ironically, I wouldn't say I'm a massive horror fan. I love thrillers.
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.
