My Gravestone Will Say,'here Lies Damon Lindelof

People Are Disappointed When The World Doesn't End On Their Watch.

I Don't Think Anybody Wants To See A Dour Star Trek Movie.

I Promised Myself I Would Never Be One Of Those People Who Complained About "oh Man, Lots Of People Are Interested In Our Movie And Now I Gotta Talk About It."

I've Always Believed That A Good Twist Is One That, When It Is Presented To The Audience, Half Of Them Say, 'i Saw That Coming.' And Half Of Them Are Completely And Totally Shocked. Because If You Don't Have The Half That Saw It Coming, Then It Wasn't Fair: You Never Gave The Audience A Chance To Guess It.

I Think One Of The Problems In Determining The Ending For A Television Series Is That You Don't Know How Long The Show Is Gonna Last. Particularly Because We Were In The Unique Position Of Adapting Tom's Perrotta Novel The Leftovers, It Always Felt Like The First Season Was Gonna End With The End Of Tom's Novel, And Then We Would Figure Things Out From There And Look Back.
