Quotes
J.J. Abrams
Hollywood director‑producer
“"He's such a storyteller; he really identifies, like any great composer does, a heartbeat of the scene and something that you might have had in there you might have been aware of it, but he sort of will excavate something and emphasize something, and all of a sudden everything just gets elevated because of it"”
