All great sci-fi is: Be careful what you wish for.

I make no distinction between writing and storytelling; I've always wanted to tell stories.

You can't just come out and do the same moves that you always do because someone just basically came into the center of the ring and spun around on their head and did a back flip.

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

Connecting dots is not that rewarding of an experience.

I stand by the Lost finale. It's the story that we wanted to tell, and we told it. No excuses. No apologies. I look back on it as fondly as I look back on the process of writing the whole show. And while I'll always care what you think, I can't be a slave to it anymore. Here's why: I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. And I was really … I was alive.

I love collaborating with different people.
