One of the great things about having been on Lost is people coming up and feeling so enthusiastic about the show and saying, "Oh it provided us so much entertainment," or "It inspired conversations."

I don't think that necessarily I was encouraged by the nuns and the priest to consider alternate possibilities to the universe.

I feel honored to be a part of something that provided people with entertainment and that inspired conversations. I feel very, very fortunate.

If the question was did we want to delay the revelation?... Yeah, you want to delay it as long as possible because the audience knows that that moment is coming and you want to make them wait for it. They have to suffer a bit.

I love sci-fi, especially when it thrives on a thought-provoking story, rather than explosions.

I write, and when see a movie in which it's supernatural, some other worlds, or some other aspect to our world that we're not aware of, and [they] don't explain what the rules are, that kind of stuff drives me crazy.

I would not call myself Catholic anymore, but I went to 16 years of Catholic school: grade school, high school and college.
