“The way that I work is that I try to work in metaphors, and you can't write a metaphor unless you know where you're going, so I always think about the future.” ThinkingKnowsWayWritingTryingMetaphor Author:J.H. Wyman
“I just have a different impression of the human race. I think we're really resilient. I think there are a lot of cynical people out there right now, and probably for good reason. But I think that ever cynic is really a damaged romantic, and they really, really, really want things to be good. And if that's the case, I don't need to tell a story that says, "Humanity, look what you've done. Now you can't go out. There's no sun. Look how you've wrecked the world." That's not me. That's not my job.” PeopleIfsThinkingWorldWantNeedsHumansLooksDifferentReasonDoneStoriesJobsHumanityRaceCasesSunRight NowBe GoodImpressionHuman RaceCynicalResilientCynic Author:J.H. Wyman
“Life is painful sometimes. It touches everyone, so you may as well try to look for other answers and find peace. So, it is difficult to write those types of things because nobody wants to tell sad stories. I think that I'll always tell stories about human hope. I would love to be able to tell somebody, "It's okay. It's all right. Be a good person." That's what my job is, in life.” ThinkingWantWritingTryingHumansWellsLooksMayPersonsSometimesStoriesAbleJobsLife IsDifficultAnswersTypeOkayPainfulGood PersonFinding PeaceBeing A Good PersonSad Story Author:J.H.

“One thing Fringe has is no shortage of ideas. There are so many jumping off points that we could use and have thought about. I just wouldn't want to pull a trick like that on the viewers. I really want to reward them. I honestly and sincerely feel that it's the most miraculous fan base I've ever seen, so I just want to make sure I use every fiber of my body to deliver for them what I think is going to be satisfying for their loyalty.” ThinkingWantFeelsIdeasUseBodyOne ThingFansRewardsLoyaltyHonestlyTricksSatisfyingViewersJumpingMiraculousSincerelyFringeShortageFiberJumping Off Author:J.H.

“Fortunately, I have an amazing partner that allows us to do these different things, who will be directing an episode himself soon, I'm sure. But, it's amazing. I love directing and I think that it allowed me to get closer to the actors and actually work with them on a level that I haven't before, and really get down there with them. I would jump at the chance to do it, anytime I could.” ThinkingDifferentActorsChanceLevelsHavensPartnersDifferent ThingsEpisodes Author:J.H. Wyman
“Jeff always says, "In the cinema, everybody goes to sci-fi. Those are the biggest movies. But, in television, nobody wants to touch it with a barge pole." It's strange. I think it's because maybe there's a legacy of television shows that depicted sci-fi in a certain way that turns off a lot of viewers, so maybe there's a negative connotation.” ThinkingWayWantShowsCertainTurnsTelevisionStrangeNegativeLegacyCinemaSci FiViewersTelevision ShowsTurn OffConnotationBarges Author:J.H.

“I think that any show that doesn't have huge ratings, that's what you're always up against. Meanwhile, conversations are ongoing. Everything is running the way that things usually run, in these types of situations. I guess we'll find out, like everybody else. But, we don't fret about it because, really, it's out of our control. We can only step back and do our work, and therein lies the serenity. We're hoping for the best and just doing what we love.” ThinkingWayShowsRunningLyingSituationStepsHugeTypeConversationSerenityOngoingRatingHoping For The Best Author:J.H. Wyman
