Quotes by Damon Lindelof
Damon Lindelof's insights on:
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 don’t think it’s hubris for me to say I’m a Trek fan. So, I don’t treat Trek fans as somebody who’s separate than I am. The only thing that separates them is, I’m one of the people responsible for the story in this movie and they’re not. But we’re all Trek fans. I can hang.
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.
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.
If you’re constantly hamstrung by worry that people aren’t going to like it, you can’t do your job.
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.
From my own internal fanboy perspective, there’s nothing that I hate more than seeing a three minute trailer for a movie where I feel like it’s shown me the entire movie.
When I saw ‘Blade Runner,’ my understanding was that ‘Blade Runner’ and ‘Alien’ were sequels to each other – or they were related. They were set in the same world.
Essentially, there’s no scientific evidence whatsoever that could ever be presented to me that would wipe out my fundamental spiritual beliefs.
