I Love Collaborating With Different People.

Hopping Around Time In A Non-linear Storytelling Fashion (on 'lost') Allows You To Bring Back Characters Who Are Dead And, In Some Cases, Buried. Now That Time Travel Is The Story Itself, It Opens Up Even More Doors. So When An Actor Reads That They're Getting Killed Off On The Show, They're Basically, Like, 'okay, But Should I Still Bother To Show Up Next Week?'

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.

But I Do Think That, When You Slow The Conveyor Belt Down, The Quality Control Tends To Go Up. You Have A Lot More Time Between Seasons To Talk About What Worked And What Didn't Work, And Plan For The Future. And The Pacing Of The Storytelling, Particularly For On-going Serialized Dramas, Means That You Don't Need To Do Non-essential Episodes, Just Because You Have To Fill This Pre-existing Schedule.

If Your Friend Is Critical [of Your Work], You Have To Have A Very Thick Skin And A Thick Skin Is Something That Only Builds Up After It's Callused For Awhile.

I'm A Huge Star Trek Fan. I've Seen All The Shows, I've Seen All The Movies, But Ultimately I Just Want A 2-hour Movie That Takes Me To Another Time And Place - Something That Entertains Me.
