What does the future of 'Westworld' look like? I don't necessarily think that we've seen the last of these artificial worlds that are central to the concept of our series as a whole. But the major lens that we will have is going to be the real world.

There's a kind of beauty to a skyscraper.

You see in moments of duress not only the darkest parts of human nature but also the brightest, the most noble.

Lisa Joy

I see my work behind the camera as the actualization of a poem. I like to linger on images, conveying things through stillness.

Lisa Joy

Traditional westerns typify some of the hardships men face: you have to be rugged, silent, stoic. It's a man against nature, against the world.

When I play 'Grand Theft Auto,' I'm such a nerdy little law abider because I've always had this active imagination in which I sympathize and empathize with things.

Lisa Joy

I think it's a very powerful notion, the notion that our personal views, although closely held, are not necessarily right. That part of what is noble is making sure there are checks and balances and a plurality of opinions.

Lisa Joy

Being a lawyer, it's like holding a key card to a parallel dimension of rule sets in the world, and it's lovely to make sure that key continues to work and to continue to brush up on the law every so often.

I need to be believe that dragons are real. I want them be a real thing.

Lisa Joy

I log on and there are so many cookies embedded in my computer - it's like they know what I need before I do.

America is built on the labors of the oppressed.

If action scenes just happen decontextualized, they lose their weight and the viewer can feel they don't make sense and that they wouldn't have happened that way.

I've been looking for a superhero I could tune into and relate to for years, and when nobody stepped in to take the place of 'Buffy' in my poor soul, I thought, 'Maybe I can create somebody!' That's how 'Headache' came to be.

Lisa Joy

I would say that, between us, I tend to be a little bit more philosophically optimistic. Jonah, I think he sees things as more finite.

Lisa Joy

I try not to look at press. However, I have a mother, who will gladly tell me what's going on out there.

Lisa Joy

I grew up in Asia, and I remember as a little kid being in Taiwan watching films there and being so awed by these new worlds of entertainment.

Lisa Joy

For me, I've always been fascinated by tales of the Chinese railroad and the workers and the conditions of the workers who built the railroad.

Lisa Joy

If you play a game like 'Grand Theft Auto' you don't go home afterwards and cry because you ran over a couple characters, because you do not give them personhood.

Lisa Joy

I was always interested in writing from an early age, but it seemed so far away and inconceivable, like wanting to be an astronaut or a pop star.

Lisa Joy

I love the idea of the literary salons in France where artists and writers would all come and talk and drink absinthe.

Lisa Joy

When I first began writing, it was not in screenwriting but in poetry. That form was so evocative, all about the image and the emotion captured in a Polaroid-like smattering of words.
