Damon Lindelof Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Damon Lindelof:

When someone says something in an interview, the beauty of Twitter is that it's a platform for instantaneous response.

I was born in 1973, so I did not see 'Alien' when it was released theatrically. I saw 'Alien' when it was on Home Box Office. I think I was probably 10.

I remember what it was like to be doing 'Lost' and how creatively immersive it was. I just couldn't really engage on anything else, other than 'Lost;' I was just thinking about it all the time, and then there was just the pure workload, the 70- or 80-hour weeks.

Damon Lindelof

As cliched as it sounds, if you have an original voice and an original idea, then no matter what anybody says, you have to find a way to tell that story.

Damon Lindelof

I don't think anybody wants to see a dour 'Star Trek' movie.

Damon Lindelof

I love collaborating with different people.

Damon Lindelof

A lot of writers whom I love, admire and call friends share this feeling, which is this fundamental idea that we're frauds. That we will be pushed out on to the stage, and it will be revealed that the emperor has no clothes.

I love the 'Lost' ending. I stand by it, but there are a lot of people out there who hate it.

Damon Lindelof

My gravestone will say, 'Here Lies Damon Lindelof - Or Does He?'

I saw myself as a teacher's pet but with a little of Ed Haskell mixed in. I was the teacher's pet, but that didn't mean that I was trying to pull one over.

Damon Lindelof

Good twists are enormously hard to come by, and I think the best ones are earned ones. The idea that a story can take a left turn on you, it's easy to do, but it has to be done very, very carefully, or else you risk losing the audience's trust.

Damon Lindelof

I've always felt that really good prequels should be original movies.

My father - until the day that my dad died - didn't know how many points you scored in a touchdown. He could say there were nine innings in baseball, but no intricacies of the sport.

Damon Lindelof

I feel like great TED Talks are ones that are a little bit subject to interpretation, that do provoke further conversation - and potentially controversy.

When someone says something in an interview, the beauty of Twitter is that it's a platform for instantaneous response.

Damon Lindelof

I've always been fascinated by Disneyland and Disney World, and my favorite part of the park was always Tomorrowland.

Damon Lindelof

When someone says something that really hurts me, I have to retweet it to let it go.

Damon Lindelof

I look at myself more as a storyteller than a screenwriter, as pretentious as that may sound, but that's what really attracts me to TED Talks. For me, the really effective ones are being presented by expert storytellers.

Damon Lindelof

I think that, at the end of the day, I'm drawn to a certain level of ambiguous storytelling that requires hard thought and work in the same way that the 'New York Times' crossword puzzle does: Sometimes you just want to put it down or throw it out the window, but there's a real rewarding sense if you feel like you've cracked it.

Damon Lindelof

The interpretive element of 'Lost' - the fact that you immediately need, as soon as the episode is over, to seek out a community of people to express your own thoughts about it, understand what they thought about it and form an opinion - that's the bread and butter of the show.

Damon Lindelof

There is no suspense in inevitability.
