I've Always Felt That Really Good Prequels

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.

I Love Collaborating With Different People.

Hopping Around Time In A Non-linear Storytelling Fashion (on 'lost') Allows You To Bring Back Characters Who Are Dead And, In Some Cases, Buried. Now That Time Travel Is The Story Itself, It Opens Up Even More Doors. So When An Actor Reads That They're Getting Killed Off On The Show, They're Basically, Like, 'okay, But Should I Still Bother To Show Up Next Week?'

When You're A Writer And You're A Producer, Traditionally The Junkets Are Really Focused On The Beautiful People And Nobody Wants To Talk To You.
