The fun thing about doing origin stories is you are introducing the audience to characters.

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

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

Suffice it to say, there are some very big ideas in Prometheus and, therefore, it covers a very vast expanse of time.

Sometimes we get frustrated ourselves and decide it's time to download a big chunk of mythology. And then the audience says, 'I find this confusing and alienating and too weird.' So then we pull back, and they say, 'You're not giving us enough'.

If you do something awesome, you should be proud of yourself.

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