Damon Lindelof quotes - page 2

I have found, unfortunately, that if I take on too many projects at one time, there is a higher probability of those projects sucking. (Damon Lindelof)

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.

Damon Lindelof

The year that 'Lost' started and premiered was, without a doubt, the most miserable year of my life. The level of despair and anguish that I was feeling; I was clinically depressed, and anyone that you talked to who knew me at the time will tell you that.

Damon Lindelof

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

Damon Lindelof

I always remember liking school.

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.

Damon Lindelof

There is a reason behind life. There is some connectivity between living beings. Whether you want to call that 'God' or 'The Force' or whatever word you use for it, I do believe in a spiritualized mechanism.

Damon Lindelof

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

Damon Lindelof

I'll never be immune to criticism, and that's okay, and I'm very comfortable with that.

Damon Lindelof

I think 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy has a very satisfying ending, and there's not really that deep of a mythological construct.

Damon Lindelof

I've always believed that a good twist is one that, when it is presented to the audience, half of them say, 'I saw that coming.' And half of them are completely and totally shocked. Because if you don't have the half that saw it coming, then it wasn't fair: You never gave the audience a chance to guess it. (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

I would say that my fatal flaw, as a human being, is that I need people to like me, and if they don't like me, I will obsess over it - and try to change my personality until they like me - even if they don't like me for reasons that have nothing to do with me, and even if they're strangers.

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'm not sitting around thinking of ideas for TV shows.
