"My work isn’t any more important than anything else in the family." ― J. J. Abrams Topic(s): Family More From J. J. Abrams "My mother is the coolest, most amazing person I know." "I mean, my dad’s a television producer, and I knew I could get a job as an assistant or a reader with one of his friends, but it wasn’t exactly what I wanted to do." "One of my favorite things about ‘Star Trek’ wasn’t just the overt banter but the humor in that show about the relationships between the main characters and their reactions to the situations they would face; there was a lot of comedy in that show without ever breaking its reality."

What will we pay her? $1.4 million in pension benefits and another $215,000 in health care benefit premiums over her lifetime."― Chris Christie "Men are seldom more commonplace than on supreme occasions."― Samuel Butler
