Zitat des Tages von J. J. Abrams:

I think when you're 10 years old, it's too much to see something with the threat of death in every episode. Kids are better left naive about certain things.

We're living at a time where if you do a Google search for a 'show, review and network,' you'll get 'The New York Times' and Pete Billingsley from a town you've never heard of on the same results page.

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

When I was a kid, among the other embarrassing things I would do, and there's a list of stupid things, but I would make these dumb comedy tapes. I would often make prank phone calls, but I would also do it with friends.
