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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
apply chance folklore influenced learned liberal mythology physics took
I took physics, and lo and behold, there's a lot of physics in 'Lost.' I think for most people, liberal arts educations are more abstract, but for me, it's been a chance to apply the things I've learned more directly. I also took some Folklore and Mythology classes, and I think that a lot of that influenced me.
buy essential field human nor secret theory unified unlock
I think there's this essential human desire to have a unified field theory. Everyone is like, 'I want to unlock the single secret to 'Lost.' There isn't any one secret. There is not a unified field theory for 'Lost,' nor do we think there should be, because philosophically, we don't buy into that as a conceit.
connection create fans gave grew internet opportunity pioneer sort wake
I think 'Lost' was really a pioneer in the use of the kind of connection between a television show and the Internet, and the Internet really gave fans an opportunity to create a community around the show. That was something that wasn't really planned; it just sort of grew up in the wake of the show.
