I Always Remember Liking School.

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.

Reputation Is A Very Interesting Thing, And I Always Give People The Benefit Of The Doubt, And I Think That There's A Part Of All Of Us, Especially In A Generation Where A Lot Of The Stuff Gets Recorded.

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?'

The Interpretive Element Of "lost," The Fact That You Immediately Need As Soon As The Episode Is Over To Seek Out A Community Of People To Express Your Own Thoughts About It, Understand What They Thought About It And Form An Opinion, That's The Bread And Butter Of The Show.

Just Put Your Best Foot Forward And Hope For The Best. You Also Have To Acknowledge That You're Going To Make Mistakes.
